Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1994, published 81st ILC session (1994)

Workers' Representatives Convention, 1971 (No. 135) - Aruba

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee wishes to be supplied with information on the content of collective agreements, and on the regulations and practice of Aruba which protect workers' representatives in the undertaking against any act prejudicial to them, including dismissal, based on their status or activities as workers' representatives (and in particular the sectors covered) (Article 1 of the Convention).

In the light of the examples contained in Recommendation No. 143, the Committee also wishes to obtain more information on the measures that have been taken so that facilities are afforded to workers' representatives, in both the private and the public sectors, in order to enable them to carry out their functions promptly and efficiently (access of workers' representatives to all workplaces, access to the management, the posting of trade union notices, the distribution of trade union publications and the other facilities enumerated in Recommendation No. 143) (Article 2).
