Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2006, Publicación: 96ª reunión CIT (2007)

Convenio sobre el derecho de sindicación y de negociación colectiva, 1949 (núm. 98) - Ecuador (Ratificación : 1959)

The Committee notes the comments of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) of 10 August 2006, which refer, in part, to outstanding legislative issues on the application of the Convention that are now being examined. Moreover, the ICFTU indicates the lack of collective bargaining rights of subcontracted or outsourced workers, the use of “blacklists” in the province of Los Ríos, and anti-union dismissals. In this regard, the Committee asks the Government to send its observations concerning the ICFTU’s comments.

Moreover, the Committee requests the Government to communicate, in accordance with the regular reporting cycle and in time for the Committee’s next session in November-December 2007, its observations on all the legislative issues, and the  issues relating to the application of the Convention in practice mentioned in its previous observation in 2005 (see 2005 observation, 76th Session).
