Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2004, Publicación: 93ª reunión CIT (2005)

Convenio sobre el derecho de sindicación y de negociación colectiva, 1949 (núm. 98) - Haití (Ratificación : 1957)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation, which read as follows:

In its previous comments, the Committee had requested the Government to provide information on developments concerning: (i) the adoption of a specific provision envisaging protection against anti-union discrimination at the time of recruitment; (ii) the adoption of provisions coupled with effective and expeditious procedures and sufficiently dissuasive sanctions guaranteeing workers general and adequate protection against acts of anti-union discrimination; and (iii) the amendment of section 34 of the Decree of 4 November 1983 which empowers the Social Organizations Service of the Department of Labour and Social Welfare to intervene in the elaboration of collective agreements.

Furthermore, the Committee notes the comments made by the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) in a communication dated 24 May 2002, and by the Haitian Trade Union Coordination (CSH) in a communication dated 26 August 2002. The Committee requests the Government to provide its observations on these comments as soon as possible.

It also expresses the firm hope that the Government will take all the necessary measures to bring its legislation into full conformity with the provisions of the Convention and requests the Government to keep it informed of any developments in this respect.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
