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

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Ethiopia (Ratification: 1963)

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:

Article 2 of the Convention. The Committee had taken due note that according to the Government sections 113, 114 and 117 of the Proclamation on Labour ensure that workers' and employers' organizations have the right to organize freely without external interference.

Observing that the legislation contains no specific provisions, accompanied by effective and sufficiently dissuasive punishments, providing sanctions for acts of interference, particularly acts designed to support a workers' organization by financial or other means, the Committee requests the Government to indicate in its next report the measures it has taken or envisages to give full effect to this provision of the Convention.
