Display in: French - SpanishView all

The Committee notes the comments made by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) dated 4 August 2011 and 31 July 2012.
Article 3 of the Convention. Right of organizations to freely organize their activities and to formulate their programmes. In its previous comments, the Committee had noted that the right to strike of civil servants is regulated by the Law on Civil Servants and that, pursuant to section 34 of this Law, when exercising their right to strike, civil servants are obliged to ensure minimum services. The Committee had further noted the Government’s indication that, pursuant to section 33 of the Law on Public Undertakings, workers of such undertakings have the right to strike, but must fulfil obligations towards citizens, legal entities and state authorities in order not to jeopardize the life, health and economic and social security of citizens, necessary economic activities in the country and fulfilment of international agreements. The founder of the public undertakings prescribes which services cannot be stopped in the case of a strike. In this regard, the Committee had requested the Government to provide a copy of the Law on Public Undertakings, along with the list of the existing public undertakings established at the local level. The Committee notes that the Law on Public Undertakings mentioned as attached to the Government’s report has not been received. The Committee once again requests the Government to provide a copy of the Law on Public Undertakings.
