Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 83rd ILC session (1996)

Right of Association (Agriculture) Convention, 1921 (No. 11) - Sri Lanka (Ratification: 1952)

The Committee takes note of the communication of the Ceylan Workers' Congress dated 7 July 1994 with regard to its previous comments. This organization points out the problems faced by self-employed workers in agriculture. The Committee requests the Government to provide it with a copy of the legislation which governs the right to organize of self-employed agricultural workers and to indicate the names and number of the organizations registered as well as their membership. The Committee recalls that according to the Convention, persons engaged in agriculture should have the same rights of association and combination than industrial workers.
