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

1. 157. The Committee last examined this case at its March 2006 meeting [see 340th Report, paras 162–164]. On that occasion the Committee requested the Government to inform it as to whether the 574 workers dismissed from the telecommunications sector had been reinstated, as ordered by the Constitutional Court.
2. 158. In its communication of 25 October 2006, the Government states that, by official letter No. 610-2006-MTPE/9.1 addressed to the Deputy Director for Individual and Collective Negotiations of Telefónica SAA, it requested information on the action taken by said enterprise to comply fully with the resolution issued by the Constitutional Court, which called for the reinstatement of the 574 workers in the telecommunications sector. In his reply, the chief of labour relations of Telefónica del Perú SAA stated that his company had complied by reinstating those workers in their posts in accordance with the order issued by the 50th Civil Affairs Court of Lima which is responsible for carrying out the order (file No. 50232-2002). However, the chief of labour relations also stated that to date the sixth Civil Division has yet to issue rulings on certain aspects of the implementation of the order, after which the procedure will be concluded. The Government states further that official letter No. 611-2006-MTPE/9.1 was sent to the General Confederation of Workers of Peru (CGTP), requesting the CGTP to inform the Government whether the reinstatement ordered by the Constitutional Court had been carried out, but no reply has yet been received.
3. 159. The Committee notes this information with interest.
