Convenio sobre el derecho de sindicación y de negociación colectiva, 1949 (núm. 98) - Bolivia (Estado Plurinacional de) (Ratificación : 1973)

In its previous comments, the Committee requested the Government to indicate whether the draft of the new General Labour Act would extend the protection of the general labour legislation to permanent and seasonal agricultural workers and whether the Act would contain provisions protecting the workers against anti-union discrimination (Article 1 of the Convention) and the workers' organisations against acts of interference by employers or their organisations (Article 2), accompanied by sanctions sufficiently effective and dissuasive. The Committee also requested the Government to supply information on collective bargaining in the agricultural sector (collective agreements, accords, statistics, etc.).

The Committee notes that, according to the Government's report, a draft has been made, with ILO collaboration, of the text of a new General Labour Act which takes into account the Committee's comments and which will be submitted to Congress before 15 July 1991.

The Committee requests the Government to supply specific information on the questions that have been raised and on the progress made in adopting the draft text of the General Labour Act.
