Previous comment

Public Service Advisory Council. The Committee notes that the Government reiterates that the decree due to determine the composition, organization and operation of the Public Service Advisory Council, a joint bipartite advisory body established by Act No. 81 2015/CNT of 24 November 2015 issuing the general public service regulations (sections 78 and 85 of the Act), has still not been adopted. The Committee once again urges the Government to take the necessary measures to ensure, eight years after the adoption of the Act, the effective functioning of the Public Service Advisory Council and to provide a copy of the decree in question once it has been adopted.

Right to collective bargaining in practice. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that the collective agreement on road transport was revised in 2020 and that the labour inspection services registered seven new enterprise agreements in 2021. The Committee requests the Government to provide exhaustive up-to-date information on the number of agreements and accords concluded in the country, indicating the sectors concerned and the number of workers covered. The Committee also requests the Government to provide information on the initiatives taken by the Government to promote free and voluntary collective bargaining.
