Convention (n° 87) sur la liberté syndicale et la protection du droit syndical, 1948 - Erythrée (Ratification: 2000)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report contains no reply to its previous comments. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.

Repetition

Article 3 of the Convention. Right of organizations to organize their activities and formulate their programmes. For a number of years, the Committee has been requesting the Government to amend section 116(3) of the Labour Proclamation according to which the agreement of more than half of the employees of an undertaking is necessary to hold a strike. The Committee notes that the Government considers its request to be beyond the scope of the Convention and therefore does not provide any information on the legislative measures taken or envisaged in this respect. Recalling that the matter raised falls within its well-recognized mandate to undertake an impartial and technical analysis of how the Convention is applied in law and practice for all ratifying member States, the Committee reiterates its request and expects that the Government will amend section 116(3) of the Labour Proclamation in the very near future, so as to ensure that if a strike vote is required, only the votes cast are counted, and requests the Government to report on the progress made in this respect.
