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

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

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee requests the Government to supply a copy of the Labour Code and the Criminal Code that are currently in force along with its next report.

Article 1 of the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether the legislation contains specific provisions which guarantee the protection of workers against all measures which may prejudice them by reason of union membership or because of participation in trade union activities, such as transfers, relocation, demotions, deprivation, or restrictions of all kinds. It requests it to supply information on the nature of the applicable sanctions in case of violations of these provisions if they exist, and to take measures to adopt provisions in this respect if this is not the case.

Article 2. The Committee further requests the Government to indicate if national legislation contains specific provisions ensuring the protection of organizations of workers against acts of interference by employers, particularly any act which aims to support workers' organizations by financial or other means with the aim of placing them under the control of employers. If not, it requests the Government to ensure that provisions in this respect are adopted, accompanied by effective and sufficiently dissuasive sanctions.

Article 4. The Committee would request the Government to supply with its next report the text of the draft law on collective bargaining and agreements which is in the process of being drawn up and which it mentions in its report.
