Convention (n° 154) sur la négociation collective, 1981 - République-Unie de Tanzanie (Ratification: 1998)

The Committee takes note of the Government’s report.

With regard to its previous request for information concerning the existence and functioning of joint staff councils for the negotiation of working conditions of junior civil servants, the Committee notes the Government’s statement that such councils exist and are functioning. The Committee requests the Government to provide any available information on the activities of the councils such as the number and subject of agreements reached in the councils during the last two years.

With regard to its previous comments concerning section 25(1) of the Civil Service Negotiating Machinery Act which excludes from the collective bargaining procedure civil servants earning a maximum annual salary of £702 or more, the Committee notes that, referring to this provision, the Government states that it only excludes from collective bargaining those civil servants who are policy-makers such as permanent secretaries and regional directors who are answerable to their appointing authority (i.e. the President). The Committee takes note of this information.
