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

Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - Cameroon (Ratification: 1960)

The Committee takes notes of the comments of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) dated 6 July 2006, which concern some legislative issues already raised in the Committee’s previous observation, as well as allegations of harassment of the Single National Union of Teachers and Professors in the Teachers’ Training Faculty (SNUIPEN).

The Committee takes notes of the Government’s response to the comments of the CGT-liberté and the ICFTU and observes that the allegations concerning SNUIPEN are being followed up by the Committee on Freedom of Association (Case No. 2382). The Committee requests the Government to communicate for its next session of November-December 2007, in the context of the regular cycle of submission of reports, its observations on all questions concerning the application in practice of the Convention mentioned in its last observation (2005 observation, 76th Session), as well as on the comments made by the Public Sector Trade Union of Cameroon (CSP) and the General Workers’ Trade Union of Cameroon (UGTC).
