Convenio sobre el derecho de sindicación y de negociación colectiva, 1949 (núm. 98) - Comoras (Ratificación : 1978)

The Committee takes note of the Government’s report.

In its previous comments, the Committee expressed its concern at the state of collective bargaining in the country and pointed out the importance of taking steps to encourage voluntary negotiation between employers and organizations of workers.

The Committee takes note of the Government’s reply. The Government states that since its last report, there has been no noteworthy progress on collective negotiation between employers and workers. Two draft collective agreements, one on pharmacies and the other on the bread, pastry-making and allied industries have not as yet been concluded.

The Committee notes with regret that these two draft agreements have not progressed. It notes that the Government has expressed the wish to receive technical assistance from the ILO, and expresses the firm hope that following such assistance, it will be able to note that significant progress has been made in the number of collective agreements and accords concluded in the country. Meanwhile, it requests the Government to take every measure it can to promote collective bargaining in both the public and the private sectors. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed in this regard.
