Suites données aux recommandations du comité et du Conseil d’administration - Rapport No. 311, Novembre 1998

Cas no 1912 (Royaume-Uni de Grande-Bretagne et d'Irlande du Nord) - Date de la plainte: 18-DÉC. -96 - Clos

Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body

1. 78. The Committee had examined this case at its March 1998 meeting (see 309th Report, paras. 343 to 370). It had requested the Government, inter alia, to take the necessary measures to ensure as soon as possible the reinstatement of Mr. Harrison to his former employment and to amend the relevant legislation to ensure protection against dismissal and other prejudicial acts for participating in industrial action.
2. 79. In a communication dated 28 September 1998, the Government indicates that Mr. Harrison did not exercise his right under the MEA's Agreed Internal Disciplinary Procedure to appeal to an independent person if he believed his downgrading to be unjust. The Government also indicates that the MEA continues to offer a range of training and development opportunities which would facilitate promotion, should Mr. Harrison choose to apply for a post at his previous grade. Finally, the Government indicates that the relevant legislation is currently under review.
3. 80. The Committee takes note of this information. It requests the Government to keep it informed of all measures taken or envisaged in order to amend its legislation to ensure protection against dismissal and other prejudicial acts for participating in industrial action.
