Legislative matters. In its previous comments, the Committee requested the Government to include in the legislation provisions which provide protection against acts of anti-union discrimination and interference by the employer and employers’ organizations in workers’ organizations (and vice versa) and which encourage collective bargaining in the public and private sectors. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that no changes have been made to the legislation and that given the length of time elapsed since the last series of legislative consultations, it has become necessary to begin the process anew. It further notes the Government’s indication that it has received funds from an international financial institution in order to undertake, in consultation with the social partners, the revision of the Labour Relations Bill, and that this process will, among others, include the comments raised by the Commission. Recalling that its comments in this respect date back to 2001, the Committee firmly hopes that the revision of the Labour Relations Bill will soon lead to the adoption of a legislation that will give full effect to the Convention. The Committee recalls that the Government can avail itself of the technical assistance of the Office in this regard.
