Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2009, published 99th ILC session (2010)

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Algeria (Ratification: 1962)

The Committee notes the observations of 26 August 2009 by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) addressing a number of issues already examined. In that communication, however, the ITUC alleges the recurrence of acts of interference in the running of member trade union organizations, including the General Union of Algerian Workers (UGTA), support from the authorities in establishing dissident organizations to weaken certain trade unions, and harassment of trade unionists, particularly those of the National Autonomous Union of Public Administration Workers (SNAPAP). The Committee requests the Government to send its comments on the ITUC’s observations.
