Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - Albania (Ratification: 1957)

The Committee notes with interest the information contained in the Government’s report and, in particular, the preparation of a new draft law for the revision of the Labour Code. The Committee notes that the draft law has been approved by the National Labour Council after consultations with the most representative employers’ and workers’ organizations and that it has been forwarded to relevant agencies and institutions for their comments and remarks. After revision of these comments, it will be forwarded to the Council of Ministers for approval. The Committee requests the Government to keep it informed of the progress made in this respect and to transmit a copy of the law as soon as it is adopted.

The Committee trusts that in drafting Chapters XVI and XVII of the new law concerning professional organizations and collective conflicts, due account will be taken of its previous comments, in particular with respect to Articles 3 and 10 of the Convention, so that the new law will be in full conformity with the Convention. The Committee requests the Government to provide information in this respect in its next report.
