The Committee takes note of the comments of the Zentoitsu Workers’ Union on several issues related to anti-union discrimination and collective bargaining, the Japanese Trade Union Confederation (JTUC-RENGO) on the public service system reform and the negotiation rights of public employees not engaged in the administration of the State, as well as the comments of the Japan National Hospital Workers’ Union (JNHWU/ZEN-IRO) on the exclusion of certain matters from negotiations in national medical institutions. The Committee notes that it has been commenting on these points for a number of years and requests the Government to provide its full observations on the comments made by the Zentoistu Workers’ Union, JTUC-RENGO and JNHWU/ZEN-IRO, as well as the pending comments of the Committee, in its next report (see 2003 observation, 74th Session).
