Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2006, published 96th ILC session (2007)

Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - North Macedonia (Ratification: 1991)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received.

The Committee had previously requested the Government to indicate steps taken to finalize the registration of the Union of Employers of Macedonia (UEM). The Committee notes with interest from information provided by the Confederation of Employers of the Republic of Macedonia, a successor of the UEM, that it has been registered.

The Committee further notes the comments submitted on 30 August 2006 by the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) on the Labour Relations Law of 22 July 2005. The Committee recalls that in its previous observation it had indicated that it would examine this Law during the regular reporting cycle in 2006. In this respect, the Committee is addressing a request directly to the Government.
