Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2013, published 103rd ILC session (2014)

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

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report does not reply to the requests for information that it has been making for several years.

The Committee notes the comments of the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) of 2013 alleging that the Government unilaterally terminated a national agreement on minimum wages in the public sector, thus affecting those employees covered by the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to provide its observations on this subject, and on the previous comments of the ITUC concerning the failure to include the Union of Trade Unions of Chad (UST) in social dialogue and obstacles to collective bargaining in the oil sector.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to adopt the necessary measures in the near future.
