Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2019, published 109th ILC session (2021)

Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - France (Ratification: 1951)

The Committee notes the Government’s report, as well as the observations of the General Confederation of Labour–Force Ouvrière (CGT–FO) received on 9 October 2019. The Committee notes that the observations of the CGT–FO concern, on the one hand, aspects raised in a representation filed under article 24 of the ILO Constitution currently under examination and, on the other hand, among other issues, the free choice of trade union representatives, the assessment of trade union representativeness and the ability of trade union organizations to take legal action. The Committee requests the Government to provide its comments on the additional issues contained in the CGT–FO’s observations.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2020.]
