Convenio sobre la libertad sindical y la protección del derecho de sindicación, 1948 (núm. 87) - Benin (Ratificación : 1960)

With reference to its previous comments on the need to amend section 8 of Ordinance No. 69-14 of 19 June 1969 under which the right to strike may be restricted in public or private enterprises, organizations and establishments, so as to ensure that the limitation or prohibition of the right to strike is confined to civil servants exercising authority in the name of the State or to services whose interruption would endanger the life, personal safety or health of the whole or part of the population, and that any prohibition should be offset by appropriate guarantees, the Committee notes with interest from the Government's report that its comments will be taken into account in the new Bill concerning the right to strike.

The Committee asks the Government to provide information in its next report on measures taken in this respect and to provide copies of the Labour Code and any other relevant legislation as soon as it has been adopted.
