Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2021, published 110th ILC session (2022)

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Brazil (Ratification: 1952)

The Committee notes the observations of the National Confederation of Workers in Teaching Establishments (CONTEE), the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) and the Single Confederation of Workers (CUT), received on 14 May and 1 and 2 September 2021, respectively.

The Committee notes that these observations contain, inter alia, allegations relating to: (i) the assassination of three trade union leaders in 2020 and several cases of death threats; and (ii) the worsening of violations of the right to collective bargaining in the context of the economic crisis resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Noting the seriousness of some of the allegations contained in the above-mentioned observations, the Committee considers it necessary to be able to examine the corresponding replies of the Government in 2022. The Committee therefore requests the Government to provide its comments on the above-mentioned observations of the trade unions.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2022.]
