Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2001, published 90th ILC session (2002)

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Gabon (Ratification: 1961)

The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s report, including the information concerning the application of Article 4 of the Convention. However, it notes that the report does not reply to the requests made in its observations in 1998, 1999 and 2000 concerning the comments relating to acts of anti union discrimination and obstacles to collective bargaining made by the Confederation of Gabonese Free Trade Unions (CGSL) and the Free Federation of Energy, Mines and Allied Enterprises.

Recalling that in its previous observation it had specifically requested the Government to ensure that an investigation was undertaken in this regard and to inform it of the results, the Committee once again calls upon the Government to give effect to this request and to keep it informed of the outcome of the above investigation.
