Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - Russian Federation (Ratification: 1956)

The Committee recalls that it had previously requested the Government to provide its observations on the comments made by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) alleging numerous violations of trade union rights in practice, including denial of registration of trade unions, interference by the authorities in internal trade union affairs, harassment of trade union leaders, and restrictions on the rights to strike, as well as the comments submitted by the Russian Labour Confederation (KTR) and the Seafarers’ Union of Russia (RPSM) in a communication dated 16 December 2009. The Committee notes the Government’s reply to the comments of the ITUC, which it will examine in the framework of the regular reporting cycle. The Committee once again requests the Government to provide its observations on the comments made by the KTR and RPSM.
