Convention (n° 144) sur les consultations tripartites relatives aux normes internationales du travail, 1976 - Togo (Ratification: 1983)

The Committee notes the adoption of Act No. 2021-012 of 18 June 2021 issuing the Labour Code, implementing Decree No. 2022-021/PR of 23 February 2022 on the powers, structure and operation of the National Labour Council (CNT), and Decree No. 2022-022/PR of 23 February 2022 concerning trade unions and the right to strike.

Article 4(2) of the Convention. Financing of any necessary training of participants in consultation procedures. The Committee requests the Government to provide up-to-date information on: (i) any arrangement made between the competent authority and the representative organizations for the financing of any necessary training of participants in these procedures; and (ii) the training provided in the period covered by the next report.

Article 5(2). Consultations at regular intervals. The Committee notes the Government’s indications that the CNT meets once a year before the beginning of the respective session of the International Labour Conference. However, section 15 of the above-mentioned Decree No. 2022-021/PR of 23 February 2022 provides for an ordinary meeting once every six months with the possibility of convening extraordinary meetings. In addition, the Committee notes that section 13 of Decree No. 2007-012/PR of 13 March 2007 on the structure and operation of the National Social Dialogue Council (CNDS) provides for two ordinary meetings a year and for extraordinary meetings in case of need. The Committee requests the Government to clarify: (i) what interval is observed by the consultative bodies; and (ii) whether the consultative bodies are currently operational, indicating, for example, when the last meetings took place and the subjects discussed at them.

Article 6. Production of an annual report. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that copies of the annual reports produced during the period concerned regarding the operation of procedures have already been sent but that it is not in possession of these copies. The Committee therefore requests the Government to send copies of the annual reports of the consultative bodies.
