Suites données aux recommandations du comité et du Conseil d’administration - Rapport No. 350, Juin 2008

Cas no 2297 (Colombie) - Date de la plainte: 01-SEPT.-03 - Clos

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

1. 60. The Committee last examined this case at its meeting in November 2007 [see 348th Report, paras 77 and 78]. On that occasion, the Committee requested the Government to carry out an investigation in order to determine whether the trade union officials of the General Directorate of Taxation Support of the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit were dismissed without their trade union immunity being taken into account and, if that was the case, to take measures to ensure that they were reinstated on the payroll without delay and paid the wages that were owed to them.
2. 61. By a communication dated 30 September 2007, the Antioquia branch of the Single Confederation of Workers (CUT) repeats its allegations. In its reply of 17 December 2007, the Government reiterates that the events in question relate to a restructuring process that took place in 1992 in accordance with the law, just as the workers are obliged to present themselves to the judicial bodies within the deadlines prescribed by the law.
3. 62. The Committee observes that the Government’s communication does not reply to the Committee’s request. The Committee therefore requests the Government once again to carry out an investigation in order to determine whether the trade union officials of the General Directorate of Taxation Support of the Ministry of Finance and Public Credit were dismissed without their trade union immunity being taken into account and, if so, to take measures to ensure that they are reinstated and paid the wages owed to them. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed in this respect.
