Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2014, published 104th ILC session (2015)

Collective Bargaining Convention, 1981 (No. 154) - Niger (Ratification: 1985)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.

Repetition

The Committee notes the Government’s indication that particular procedures have been adopted for the promotion of collective bargaining for public servants. The designated representatives of trade union federations sit on consultative bodies at all levels, including the Public Service Advisory Council, which examines all issues of a general nature concerning the public service, the Joint Technical Committee within each ministerial department comprising representatives of the administration and staff representatives, and the Promotions and Disciplinary Board within the Ministry of Labour and the Public Service. The Committee reminds the Government that the Convention, and in particular the right to collective bargaining, is not applied simply by giving trade unions the right to sit on consultative bodies. The Committee therefore requests the Government to supply copies of collective agreements signed in the public sector.
