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

Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - Japan (Ratification: 1965)

The Committee notes the comments submitted by the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU), the Zentoitsu Workers’ Union and the Japan Trade Union Confederation (JTUC-RENGO), in communications dated respectively, 10 August 2006, 13 December 2005 and 28 August 2006, which largely refer to issues that the Committee is already examining and that concern the effect given to the Convention in law and in practice. The Committee requests the Government to send its observations on the ICFTU’s comments.

The Committee also requests the Government, in the context of the regular reporting cycle, to send for examination at its next session, to be held in November‑December 2007, its views on the legislative matters raised in the Committee’s observation of 2005 (see 2005 observation, 76th Session).
