Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1993, publiée 80ème session CIT (1993)

Convention (n° 87) sur la liberté syndicale et la protection du droit syndical, 1948 - Nicaragua (Ratification: 1967)

The Committee notes that in its reply to the general observation, the Government indicates that section 35 of the Regulation respecting trade union associations provides that the members of the governing board have to be of Nicaraguan nationality. In this context, the Committee considers that foreign workers should have access to trade union office, at least after a certain period of residence in the host country. The Committee therefore requests the Government to indicate in its next report any measure which it has adopted in this respect.

The Committee also requests the Government to state whether federations and confederations may exercise the right to strike, and if so, on what legal basis.
