Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2000, published 89th ILC session (2001)

Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - Peru (Ratification: 1960)

The Committee recalls that its previous comments referred to the following question:

The denial of the right to organize of jurisdictional auxiliaries to the judiciary (Legislative Decree No. 768, 11th part).

The Committee notes with interest in this connection that according to the Government, Act No. 26586, currently in force, provides no legal obstacle to the exercise by workers within the judiciary of their trade union rights and the right to strike. The Committee notes that since these jurisdictional auxiliaries to the judiciary are governed by private sector labour law, the Industrial Relations Act, which covers these rights, is applicable to them, and they therefore enjoy the same rights as workers subject to public sector labour law.

The Committee requests the Government to provide a copy of Act No. 26586, which came into effect in 1996.
