Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1999, Publicación: 88ª reunión CIT (2000)

Convenio sobre el derecho de sindicación y de negociación colectiva, 1949 (núm. 98) - Guinea (Ratificación : 1959)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation on the following matters:

Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention. The Committee observes that section 249 of the Labour Code prohibits any clause in a collective agreement which directly or indirectly restricts the freedom of workers to join the union of their choice; not to join a union, or to withdraw from a union and which provides for a fine in the event of non-compliance, and that sections 277 to 282 provide protection for trade union representatives. The Committee would remind the Government that legislation should contain specific provisions to protect workers against anti-union discrimination at the time of recruitment and during employment to protect workers and their organizations against acts of interference by employers and that these provisions should be accompanied by effective and expeditious procedures and sufficiently dissuasive sanctions. It requests the Government to take measures in the above-indicated sense.
