Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2005, published 95th ILC session (2006)

Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - Lesotho (Ratification: 1966)

The Committee notes the Government’s report together with the adoption of the Public Service Act, 2005.

Pursuant to its previous comments, the Committee notes that the definition of collective bargaining in the Act refers to a process of negotiations entered into between a “registered public officers’ association” and the employer in respect of any matter of mutual interest, with the purpose of reaching a collective bargaining agreement. Therefore, the Committee once again asks the Government to indicate the manner in which public officers’ associations may become registered.
