Article 1 of the Convention. Same rights of association and combination for all those engaged in agriculture as for industrial workers. In its previous comments, the Committee had noted that Act No. 13/2009 regulating labour law in Rwanda provides in its section 3 that “the person dealing with family agricultural and commercial or industrial breeding activities shall not be subjected to the provisions of this law, except for provisions relating to health and safety at the workplace as well as to prohibitions for child labour and for pregnant or breastfeeding women”, and requested the Government to indicate legislative provisions which secure same rights of association and combination for all those engaged in agriculture, as to industrial workers. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that the revision of the labour law is ongoing and that this provision shall be amended to secure all workers engaged in agriculture the same rights of association. The Committee expects that the relevant amendments will be adopted in the near future, and requests the Government to provide information on all progress made in this respect.
