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

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Azerbaijan (Ratification: 1992)

1. Comments made by the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU). The Committee notes the comments made by the ICFTU in a communication dated 10 August 2006 concerning: (1) the fact that, despite the law, an effective system of collective bargaining between unions and enterprise managements has not yet been established and that unions rarely participate in determining wage levels; and (2) serious obstacles to forming trade unions have been reported at joint ventures operating in the communication sector and in the oil sector. The Committee requests the Government to provide its observations on the comments made by the ICFTU.

2. The Committee will examine other points raised in its 2005 direct request next year in the framework of the regular examination of the Government’s reports.
