Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - Algeria (RATIFICATION: 1962)

Article 3 of the Convention. Right of organizations to carry on their activities in full freedom and formulate their programmes. The Committee recalls that its previous comments referred to section 43 of Act No. 90-02, under which strikes are forbidden not only in essential services the interruption of which may endanger the life, personal safety or health of the citizens, but also where this strike “is liable to give rise to a serious economic crisis”. The Committee requests the Government to give examples of situations in which, under this provision, a strike has been prohibited on the grounds of the interruption of essential services or the possibility that it might give rise to a serious economic crisis.
