Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1997, published 86th ILC session (1998)

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Guernsey

With reference to its previous comments regarding the absence of legislation protecting workers against acts of anti-union discrimination in respect of employment, in particular with respect to refusal of employment or dismissal on the ground of trade union membership, the Committee notes the information in the Government's report, in particular that the Government of the island has approved legislation which was to be submitted to the Privy Council for Royal sanction.

The Committee hopes that the new legislation will adequately protect workers against acts of anti-union discrimination and requests the Government to forward to it a copy as soon as it is adopted.
