Convention (n° 87) sur la liberté syndicale et la protection du droit syndical, 1948 - Maurice (Ratification: 2005)

The Committee notes the comments of 10 August 2006 of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) reporting restrictions in the law on the right to strike, practical obstacles to the organization of workers in export processing zones and to the organization of migrant workers and of workers in the offshore business sector. The ICFTU also refers to police repression of a demonstration of textile workers in 2005. The Committee further notes the conclusions concerning Case No. 2281, examined by the Committee on Freedom of Association at its session of June 2006, in which the abovementioned Committee refers to the need to revise the Industrial Relations Act in order to align it with the principles of freedom of association. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of all developments in this matter and to respond to the ICFTU’s comments in its first report on the application of the Convention due in 2007.
