The Committee notes the information provided by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) in its comments submitted on 24 August 2010, according to which shop stewards perform functions that should, in practice, be in the hand of elected trade union leaders and although representative unions have the right to nominate shop stewards, they are often elected before a union is organized at a workplace. The Committee requests the Government to provide its observations thereon in its next report, as well as information on the legislation regulating shop stewards.
