Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2003, published 92nd ILC session (2004)

Labour Relations (Public Service) Convention, 1978 (No. 151) - Colombia (Ratification: 2000)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not yet been received, nor has its reply to the comments of the Confederation of Workers of Colombia (CTC) to the effect that the right to collective bargaining of public employees has been denied by a decision of June 2001 issued by the Supreme Court of Justice. The Committee requests the Government to send a detailed report based on the report form for the Convention approved by the Governing Body, together with relevant legislation.

The Committee notes the communication of 29 August 2003 from the World Confederation of Labour (WCL) on the application of the Convention, raising the same issue as the CTC. The Committee addresses this matter in its observation on the application of Convention No. 98.
