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

Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - Malawi (Ratification: 1999)

The Committee notes with interest the Government’s first report, and in particular the adoption of the Labour Relations Act of 1996. Noting that section 47(2) of the Labour Relations Act of 1996 empowers the Minister to apply to the Industrial Relations Court for a determination as to whether a threatened or actual strike involves an essential service, the Committee requests the Government to keep it informed, in its next reports, of any decision from the Industrial Relations Court in this regard.
