Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2010, published 100th ILC session (2011)

Labour Administration Convention, 1978 (No. 150) - Democratic Republic of the Congo (Ratification: 1987)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation, which read as follows:

Re-establishment of the exercise of the right to organize. The Committee notes that the work of the National Labour Council in 2004 gave rise to the adoption, among other regulatory texts on workers’ right of representation, of Ministerial Order No. 12/CAB/MIN/TPS/VTB/053/2004 of 12 October 2004 lifting the suspension of trade union elections in enterprises and establishments of all types. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide information on the impact of this Order on industrial relations.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
