Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1999, published 88th ILC session (2000)

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Cabo Verde (Ratification: 1979)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation on the following matters:

The Committee had observed that workers' and employers' organizations had not availed themselves of the possibilities offered by national legislation for collective bargaining. The Committee reminded the Government that in ratifying the Convention it had undertaken to adopt appropriate measures to encourage and promote the full development and utilization of machinery for voluntary negotiation, with a view to the regulation of terms and conditions of employment by means of collective agreements. Under these conditions, the Committee requested the Government to take the measures necessary to implement the provisions of Article 4 of the Convention and hoped that in its next report the Government would be able to provide copies of the texts of collective agreements concluded.
