Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2011, published 101st ILC session (2012)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Gabon (Ratification: 1988)

Effective tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s report received in August 2011, in reply to its 2009 observation. The Government indicates that the consultations envisaged in Article 5(1) of the Convention have been held concerning the submission to Parliament of the instrument adopted by the International Labour Conference and the reports provided by the Government under articles 19 and 22 of the ILO Constitution. It adds that, despite the persistence of the problem of the representativeness of trade unions, a modus vivendi has always been found so that the trade union confederations represent all workers. The Committee invites the Government to provide updated information in its next report on the “effective” consultations held on all the matters relating to international labour standards covered by Article 5(1) the Convention, and to indicate the frequency of such consultations and the nature of any reports or recommendations issued.
