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

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Mauritius (Ratification: 1969)

The Committee notes the Government’s report. It also notes the comments made by the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) and requests the Government to provide its observations on the matters raised therein.

Article 2 of the Convention. In its previous observation, the Committee had expressed the firm hope that measures would be taken to adopt specific legal provisions in the near future to guarantee effective protection against acts of interference by employers and their organizations in the activities of workers’ organizations and vice versa, and that such protection would be accompanied by effective and sufficiently dissuasive sanctions. The Committee had noted that the Draft Labour Relations Bill was being examined by the relevant authorities, and that consideration was being given to the observations made by the Committee of Experts.

The Committee notes that the Government reiterates in its report the same information. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of any progress in this regard.
