Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2006, publiée 96ème session CIT (2007)

Convention (n° 87) sur la liberté syndicale et la protection du droit syndical, 1948 - Indonésie (Ratification: 1998)

The Committee notes the comments of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) of 10 August 2006, which refer, on the whole, to pending legislative issues and issues relating to the application of the Convention in practice which are now being examined. Moreover, the ICFTU cites the arrests of trade union leaders, threats of physical aggression, acts of violence and anti‑trade union police harassment against strikers and demonstrators, as well as impediments in the procedures for registering a federation. In this regard, the Committee requests the Government to provide its observations relating to the comments made by the ICFTU.

Moreover, the Committee requests the Government to provide, in time for its next session in November-December 2007 and in accordance with the regular reporting cycle, its observations on the legislative issues mentioned in the Committee’s previous observation in 2005 (see 2005 observation, 76th Session).
