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

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Japan (Ratification: 1953)

The Committee notes the Government's report.

Negotiation rights of public employees. The Committee has raised comments for a number of years regarding the capacity of public servants not engaged in the administration of the State to participate in the process of wage determination. In order to assist the Committee to better appreciate the national law and practice in this regard, the Committee requests the Government to specify in its next report the precise categories of public employees, including examples, entitled to collectively bargain and conclude collective agreements and on what subjects, and those specifically excluded from bargaining rights or the right to conclude a collective agreement or an agreement relating to particular subjects. The Committee would also appreciate receiving translations of the relevant legislative texts.
