Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2010, publiée 100ème session CIT (2011)

Convention (n° 98) sur le droit d'organisation et de négociation collective, 1949 - Malawi (Ratification: 1965)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It notes the International Trade Union Confederation’s (ITUC) communication dated 24 August 2010, which refers to obstacles to the exercise of collective bargaining rights and in particular the requirement in practice of very high representation thresholds. The Committee further notes that the ITUC also refers to difficulties in the export processing zones (EPZs) and, finally, restrictions to trade union rights in certain enterprises or institutions. The Committee requests the Government to provide its observations thereon.
