Convenio sobre los representantes de los trabajadores, 1971 (núm. 135) - Costa Rica (Ratificación : 1977)

The Committee notes that the Government's report was received when its work had already begun. It observes that the report does not contain any specific information to the questions raised. In these circumstances, the Committee can only repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

The Committee asks the Government to provide information on the facilities granted under Article 2 of the Convention to workers' representatives, in practice, in the private sector and the public sector by collective agreements or other means, for example, such as those set out in the Workers' Representatives Recommendation, 1971 (No. 143) referred to below: facilities to enable them to carry out their functions promptly and efficiently; the necessary time off without loss of pay for carrying out their representation functions in the undertaking; access to the management of the enterprise; the right of assembly; the possibility of collecting trade union dues regularly on the premises of the enterprise; authorization to post trade union notices; the right to attend meetings, or such material facilities and information as may be necessary for the exercise of their functions.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
