Case No 2289 (Peru) - Complaint date: 17-JUL-03 - Closed

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

1. 300. At its June 2005 meeting, the Committee requested the Government to keep it informed of the outcome of the judicial proceedings concerning the dismissal of the SUTREL general secretary, Mr. Luis Martín del Río Reátegui and, should the first-level ruling ordering the reinstatement of the union official in question be confirmed, to take the necessary steps to ensure that he is reinstated immediately [see 337th Report, para. 124].
2. 301. In communications dated 14 January and 22 April 2005, the Peruvian Union of Folklore Artists (SITAFP) and the General Confederation of Workers of Peru (CGTP) stated that the Ministry of Labour had again refused to register the executive committee rightfully elected by the members of the SITAFP, in spite of the omissions that were questioned at the first attempt to register the executive committee having been corrected.
3. 302. In communications dated 18 February and 21 June 2005, the Government stated that the Luz del Sur S.A.A. company appealed the decision of 25 October 2004 ordering the reinstatement of trade union official Mr. Luís Martín del Río Reátegui and that there was still no decision on the appeal proceedings. The Government also stated that the registration of the executive committee of SITAFP was accepted on 26 May 2005 under the corresponding executive decision, once certain aspects of that infringed legislation and trade union statutes were corrected.
4. 303. The Committee notes with interest the registration of the executive committee of SITAFP. The Committee looks forward to hearing the decision handed down by the legal authority on the appeal by the Luz del Sur S.A.A. company against the decision of 25 October 2004 ordering the reinstatement of trade union official Mr. Luís Martín del Río Reátegui to his duties.
