Case No 1992 (Brazil) - Complaint date: 31-AUG-98 - Closed

Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body

1. 18. At its November 2002 meeting, the Committee had noted with interest the judicial decisions reinstating in their posts four additional officials of the Brazilian Post and Telegraph Enterprise, who had been dismissed following the strike of September 1997, and requested the Government to inform it of the final outcome of the remaining judicial proceedings [see 329th Report, paras. 13-15]. The total number of workers dismissed was 54 and the Government has regularly provided information on the judgements of reinstatement.
2. 19. In its communication of 17 January 2003, the Government provides a table giving the status of proceedings concerning the 54 dismissed workers. According to this table, the court has ordered the reinstatement of 28 workers and confirmed the dismissal in a few cases; the remaining cases have not been finally decided yet.
3. 20. The Committee notes this information and, considering that these dismissals occurred in September 1997, hopes that the pending proceedings will be concluded without delay. It requests the Government to keep it informed of developments in this respect.
