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

Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - United Republic of Tanzania (Ratification: 2000)

The Committee takes note of the Government’s report. It also notes with satisfaction the text of the Employment and Labour Relations Act and the Labour Institutions Act which replaced upon adoption the Trade Unions Act, 1998, and the Industrial Court of Tanzania Act, 1967, thus terminating the trade union monopoly, the excessive requirements for the registration of trade union federations and the considerable restrictions on the right to strike previously established by the repealed Acts.

The Committee is addressing a request on certain other points directly to the Government.
