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

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Gabon (Ratification: 1961)

The Committee notes the Government’s report. It also notes the comments of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) and the Government’s response thereto.

While taking note of the Government’s statements concerning measures to encourage collective bargaining, in particular the launch of joint negotiations on wages which have led to a wage increase in almost all sectors of activity, the Committee asks the Government to continue providing information, in its future reports, on the manner in which the voluntary negotiation of collective agreements is promoted and developed in Gabon. The Government is also requested to indicate the collective agreements concluded and the sectors and number of workers covered.
