Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2004, published 93rd ILC session (2005)

Labour Relations (Public Service) Convention, 1978 (No. 151) - Uruguay (Ratification: 1989)

The Committee notes the Government’s report.

The Committee recalls that in its previous observation it noted that the trade union confederation PIT-CNT referred to the absence of machinery for collective bargaining in the public administration, the judicial authorities and education, and invited the Government to examine this matter with the social partners. The Committee notes the Government’s statement to the effect that, in this regard, no changes have occurred with respect to the information that was previously provided and that collective agreements have been concluded between the State and public servants, especially in public enterprises. In this respect, the Committee invites the Government to examine with the most representative organizations the possible machinery for the promotion of collective bargaining in the public administration and requests it to provide information in its next report on any developments in this respect.
