Case No 2148 (Togo) - Complaint date: 11-JUN-01 - Closed

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

1. 207. The Committee examined this case at its meeting in May–June 2006 [see 342nd Report, paras 158–160]. On that occasion, the Committee recalled that the events that had given rise to the complaint dated back to June 1999 in the context of a legal strike calling for the payment of arrears and unpaid wages, and once again urged the Government to rescind the decrees in question and to communicate swiftly the results of the social dialogue, which was due to be held in January 2006, as well as the decisions taken as a result regarding the teachers who were still affected by the application of the decrees.
2. 208. In a communication dated 28 June 2006, the Government informed the Committee that it had undertaken, during the tripartite social dialogue held from 31 January to 11 May 2006, to regularize the situation of the auxiliary teachers concerned and that, to that end, a census had been conducted throughout the national territory and had made it possible to draw up a list of 406 teachers. By Decision No. 425/MTEFP of the Minister responsible for labour affairs, dated 23 August 2006, the teachers in question were called back to work as of September 2006.
3. 209. The Committee notes this information with satisfaction.
