Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - Gabon (Ratification: 1960)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.

Repetition

Article 3 of the Convention. Negotiated minimum service. In its previous comments, the Committee asked the Government to report any new developments concerning the adoption of the draft revised version of the Labour Code and, if applicable, to specify in particular the provisions adopted relating to the procedures for determining the list of sectors in which it is compulsory to provide a minimum service, the arrangements for the negotiation of this minimum service and any independent body envisaged to settle disagreements in the event of collective disputes. The Committee also asked the Government to hold negotiations with the social partners with a view to determining the characteristics of a minimum service in the event of a strike in the education, training and research sector. As there has been no reply from the Government, the Committee reiterates its request and trusts that the Government will take all necessary steps without delay to provide the requested information. The Committee once again encourages the Government to continue consultations with the social partners with a view to reaching an agreement on the minimum services to be provided in the event of a strike in the education sector.
