The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.
Repetition
Article 5 of the Convention. Collective bargaining in the private sector. The Committee notes that the Government indicates that the Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs, and Equal Opportunities has undertaken activities with the social partners to encourage collective bargaining in the private sector. The Government further indicates that a memorandum of understanding was concluded in February 2011 between the Council of Ministers, the employers’ and workers’ organizations and the members of the National Labour Council. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that private employers often fail to file the collective contracts at the labour offices and that therefore the number of collective contracts in the private sector does not reflect the total number of collective contracts that have been concluded. The Committee notes that, in its report, the Government does not provide detailed information on the number of collective agreements concluded in the private sector and the percentage of workers covered. The Committee requests the Government to provide further information on the measures taken and any other measures contemplated to promote collective bargaining in the private sector, as well as the approximate number of collective agreements reached and the sectors concerned or, at least, information on the most relevant collective agreements, indicating the percentage of workers covered.
Draft Labour Code. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that a draft Labour Code was expected to be approved by Parliament by the end of 2014. The Government indicates that the draft Code recognizes the right of workers’ representatives to be informed on matters related to collective bargaining and the obligation to hold consultations between them and employers on issues such as workplans and forms of work organization. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on developments relating to the draft Labour Code and to provide a copy as soon as it is adopted.
