Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2001, published 90th ILC session (2002)

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Burkina Faso (Ratification: 1962)

The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s report, particularly Decree No. 97-101 of 12 March 1997 establishing the membership, terms of reference and operation of the Labour Advisory Committee, a tripartite body empowered by section 5 of the above Decree to issue opinions on all matters pertaining to labour legislation.

The Committee also observes that draft collective agreements for the bakery, road transport and private radio sectors are in the process of being negotiated. The Committee asks the Government to inform it in its next report of the progress made in this respect and in respect of any other collective agreements.

The Committee notes, however, that the Government sent Act No. 45-60/AN of 25 July 1960 on regulation of the right to strike of civil servants and state agents, but not the subsequent text that the Committee requested (Act No. 013/98/AN of 13 April 1998) defining the legislation governing public service jobs and employees. The Committee must therefore reiterate its previous request that the Government send the text of Act No. 013/98/AN of 13 April 1998 so that the Committee can make its comments advisedly.
