Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Guinea (Ratification: 1959)

The Committee notes the information communicated by the Government in its last report.

In its previous comments, the Committee asked the Government to adopt provisions to protect workers against acts of anti-union discrimination by employers during recruitment and employment (Article 1 of the Convention), and provisions to protect workers' organisations against acts of interference by individual employers or employers' organisations (Article 2), accompanied by sufficiently effective and dissuasive sanctions.

The Committee notes with interest the information contained in the report to the effect that national practice with regard to labour relations is such that no acts of discrimination or interference have so far been recorded, because the social partners effectively enjoy freedom and independence.

It nonetheless recalls that on ratifying the Convention the Government undertook to take steps to bring its legislation into full conformity with Articles 1 and 2 of the Convention.

The Committee therefore hopes that specific statutory provisions will be adopted in the future and asks the Government to inform it of any progress made in this respect in its next report.
