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

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Mali (Ratification: 1964)

The Committee recalls that its previous comments referred to the need to allow the Confederation of Workers’ Unions of Mali (CSTM) to participate in those tripartite consultation bodies in which it expressed interest and to provide information on the organization of occupational elections provided for under the Labour Code. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that it is planning to organize these occupational elections in the near future. With this in mind, on 5 March 2014, the Government adopted an Order establishing electoral commissions (national, regional and local), and it states that it has asked the social partners, including the CSTM, to appoint their representatives to the National Electoral Commission. The Committee trusts that the Government will provide information in its next report on the holding of these occupational elections, and it hopes that their results will make it possible to determine clearly the representative organizations with a view to collective bargaining at all levels.
