Workers' Representatives Convention, 1971 (No. 135) - Gabon (Ratification: 1975)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received.

The Committee notes the communications of the Confederation of Gabonese Free Trade Unions (CGSL) and the Federation of Energy, Mines and Allied Enterprises (FLEEMA) concerning the application of the Convention. The Committee regrets that the Government has not provided its comments in this respect. With respect to the allegations concerning the refusal of the Dragage enterprise to allow the trade unionists of FLEEMA to enter the closed off construction sites in order to make contact with the workers, the Committee requests the Government to inform it of the measures that it has taken to permit trade unionists of FLEEMA to communicate with the workers of Dragage.
