Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1997, published 86th ILC session (1998)

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Azerbaijan (Ratification: 1992)

The Committee notes the Government's report and in particular the promulgation of the Law on Collective Contracts and Agreements which entered into force on 25 September 1996 and was drafted with the technical assistance of the Office.

Articles 1 and 3 of the Convention. In its previous direct request, the Committee had noted that Act No. 792 on trade unions, promulgated on 24 February 1994, prohibited any discrimination on the basis of membership of a trade union and had requested the Government to indicate what sanctions could be imposed in cases where acts of anti-union discrimination were committed and whether protection against such acts applied to both trade union leaders and members. The Committee notes that the Government has not supplied the information requested and asks it again to provide the relevant details and to indicate how the protection system operates in practice.
