Effect given to the recommendations of the committee and the Governing Body
Effect given to the recommendations of the committee and the Governing Body- 56. The Committee last examined this case, which was submitted in April 2015 and in which the complainant, the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU), alleged denial of registration of the Zimbabwe Footwear Tanners and Allied Workers’ Union (ZFTAWU) and the ban by the police on trade union demonstrations, at its June 2019 meeting [see 389th Report, paras 103–109]. On that occasion, the Committee urged the Government to amend the Labour Act without further delay in consultation with the social partners and referred the legislative aspects of this case to the Committee of Experts on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations (CEACR). The Committee requested the Government to keep it informed of the registration status of the ZFTAWU, as well as of the activities undertaken to ensure a wide dissemination of the code of conduct for state actors in the world of work in Zimbabwe and a handbook on freedom of association and civil liberties in the world of work and the role of law enforcement agencies in Zimbabwe.
- 57. In its communication dated 23 March 2021, the Government indicates that the ZFTAWU was registered on 30 January 2020. The Government further informs that other general issues and specific incidences alleged in this case, as well labour law reform are being handled under the auspices of the Tripartite Negotiating Forum.
- 58. The Committee welcomes the registration of the ZFTAWU. The Committee observes that the labour law reform as well as the use of the handbook and code of conduct by the law enforcement agencies are being followed by the CEACR, to which the Committee had previously referred the legislative aspects of this case. In these circumstances, the Committee considers this case closed and will not pursue its examination.
