Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body

1. 40. The Committee last examined this case, which concerns allegations of anti-union dismissals from the company PT. Dok Dan Perkapalan Surabaya resulting in difficulties of the SEKAR-DPS trade union to operate, at its May–June 2012 meeting. On that occasion, the Committee recalled that a mediator of the Manpower Office of Surabaya City recommended that the suspension of workers following their participation in the October 2009 strike be revoked and back wages be paid and once again requested the Government to keep it informed of any follow-up to this recommendation [see 364th Report, paras 50–65].
2. 41. In its communication dated 16 January 2013, the Government indicates that based on the monitoring report of the labour inspector obtained from PT. Dok Dan Perkapalan Surabaya, the seven workers suspended following their participation in the October 2009 strike were reinstated.
3. 42. The Committee notes this information with interest and trusts that the back wages have been paid to them in accordance with the recommendation of the mediator of the Manpower Office of Surabaya City.
