Convenio sobre la libertad sindical y la protección del derecho de sindicación, 1948 (núm. 87) - Colombia (Ratificación : 1976)

The Committee notes the Government's report and the report of the freedom of association mission carried out between 7 and 11 October 1996 in Colombia.

With regard to section 357 of the Substantive Labour Code concerning the prohibition of the existence of two or more trade unions of workers in the same enterprise, the Committee notes from the report of the above mission that this provision does not prevent other trade unions (representing an industry, a function, an occupation or various functions) from coexisting in the enterprise and that the social partners interviewed by the mission do not consider it to be an important restriction.
