Effect given to the recommendations of the committee and the Governing Body
Effect given to the recommendations of the committee and the Governing Body- 50. The Committee last examined this case, concerning the
non-implementation of the collective agreement concluded between the Union of Statistics
Workers of the National Institute of Statistics (STINE) and the National Institute of
Statistics (INE), at its March 2016 meeting [see 377th Report, paras 35 and 36]. On that
occasion, the Committee took note of the Government’s indications that: (i) the appeal
for annulment of the collective agreement filed by the INE had been dismissed in 2013;
and (ii) the new INE administration had agreed to establish an agreement implementation
committee, as a result of which most of the provisions of the collective agreement were
being implemented and the consequences of the budget restrictions imposed by the
Government were being addressed. The Committee took note with interest these
developments and indicated that, if the information forwarded by the Government was not
contested by the complainant organization, the Committee would not pursue the
examination of this case.
- 51. The Committee notes that, in a communication dated 19 February 2020,
the Government indicates that: (i) with the facilitation of the Ministry of Labour and
Social Security, the INE, the STINE and the other trade union present in the entity
signed two collective agreements in November 2018 which address all the points raised in
the present complaint; (ii) those agreements set out in particular the conditions for
the full implementation of article 35 of the institution’s agreement on working
conditions; (iii) the agreements specifically provide that the conflict between the INE
and the STINE, which had led to the presentation of Case No. 2700 is thus terminated;
and (iv) in a letter dated 4 December 2018, the STINE thanked the Ministry of Labour and
Social Security for its support in resolving the conflict and requested it to continue
to monitor the implementation of the aforementioned agreements. The Committee also takes
note of the Government’s indication that, considering that 15 months after the signing
of the agreements, no further difficulties have arisen, it considers that all the points
raised in the present case have been resolved. Warmly welcoming this information and
especially the facilitating and mediating role played by the Ministry of Labour, the
Committee considers this case closed and will not pursue its examination.
