Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2012, published 102nd ILC session (2013)

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

Right to collective bargaining in practice. The Committee notes the Government’s indication, in reply to its previous comments, concerning the absence of any collective agreements signed in 2011 or 2012. However, having referred in its previous report to collective agreements mainly signed in the public sector, the Government explains that a new collective agreement for the banking sector is due to be signed, the joint committee responsible for the revision thereof having finished its work, and that the joint committee responsible for discussing the new collective agreement in the air transport sector is continuing the work which it began in October 2011. The Committee requests the Government to take steps to promote collective bargaining in all sectors of activity and to continue to provide information on the number of collective agreements signed and the number of workers covered.
