Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2021, Publicación: 110ª reunión CIT (2022)

Convenio sobre los representantes de los trabajadores, 1971 (núm. 135) - Dominica (Ratificación : 2004)

The Committee notes with deep concern that the Government’s report, due since 2014, has not been received. In light of its urgent appeal launched to the Government in 2020, the Committee proceeds with the examination of the application of the Convention on the basis of the information at its disposal. The Committee recalls that since ratifying the Convention in 2004, the Government has not provided information concerning the practical application of the Convention. In 2009, the Committee took note of the Government’s first report and requested the Government to supply examples of facilities provided for in existing collective agreements. The Committee emphasizes the importance of receiving this type of information in order to be able to assess the effective application of the Convention in the country. Not having received any observations from the social partners, nor having at its disposal any information on the practical application of the Convention, the Committee refers to its previous direct request adopted in 2009 and urges the Government to provide a full reply in this respect. To this end, the Committee recalls that the Government may avail itself of the ILO’s technical assistance.
