Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2006, published 96th ILC session (2007)

Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - Guinea (Ratification: 1959)

The Committee notes the comments of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) of 10 August 2006, which refer, on the whole, to pending legislative issues which are now being examined. The ICFTU also indicates difficulties in exercising the right to strike, together with police repression and the arrest of trade union leaders in cases where strikes have taken place. In this regard, the Committee requests the Government to provide its observations relating to the comments made by the ICFTU.

Moreover, the Committee requests the Government to provide, in time for its next session in November-December 2007 and in accordance with the regular reporting cycle, its observations on all the issues mentioned in the Committee’s previous observation in 2005 (see 2005 observation, 76th Session).
