Convention (n° 135) concernant les représentants des travailleurs, 1971 - Aruba

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

In relation to its previous comments, the Committee notes the collective agreements, sent by the Government, protecting workers’ representatives against acts prejudicial to them, including dismissal based on their status or activities as workers’ representatives.

The Committee notes the declaration of the Government according to which it will make efforts to seek the advice of the Labour Department for the formalization of some facilities concerning the access to the employer and the distribution of union materials in the private sector.

The Committee had noted in its previous observation that the Department of Labour was undertaking a complete revision of existing labour legislation. The Committee requests the Government to provide information on this legislation review and hopes that it will take into account the provisions of the Convention.
