The Committee notes the observations of the International Organisation of Employers (IOE) received on 1 September 2014 and 1 September 2016, which are of a general nature.

Article 3 of the Convention. Right to organize activities and formulate programmes in full freedom. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that, pursuant to section 20.1.7 of the Law on Civil Service, all civil servants are prohibited from exercising the right to strike. Recalling that States may restrict or prohibit the right to strike in the public service only for public servants exercising authority in the name of the State, the Committee requests the Government to list the specific categories of civil servants covered by the Law on Civil Service whose right to strike is thus prohibited.
