Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2007, published 97th ILC session (2008)

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Central African Republic (Ratification: 1964)

The Committee notes the Government’s report. It notes with regret that the Government has not replied to its previous comments in which it asked the Government to:

–      send its observations on the comments made by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) to the effect that wages in the public sector are determined by the Government after consultation with the unions but without any negotiation. The Committee requests the Government to send its reply to these comments;

–      take steps to amend the legislation so that negotiations by “professional groupings” are only possible where no trade union exists. The Committee reminds the Government that the Convention promotes collective bargaining between employers’ and workers’ organizations and requests the Government once again to amend the legislation accordingly.

The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of all measures taken in this regard.
