Seguimiento dado a las recomendaciones del Comité y del Consejo de Administración - Informe núm. 332, Noviembre 2003

Caso núm. 2148 (Togo) - Fecha de presentación de la queja:: 11-JUN-01 - Cerrado

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

1. 166. The Committee last examined this case at its March 2003 meeting [see 330th Report, paras. 144-147]. On that occasion, the Committee once again requested the Government to rescind the decrees declaring the teachers absent without leave and to restore the rights of all teachers still affected by these decrees, and to keep it informed in this regard.
2. 167. In its communication of 2 September 2003, the Government stated that the trade union in question, the National Union of Independent Trade Unions (UNSIT), had sent it a list of assistant teachers that claimed not to have been reinstated in their jobs following the strike, which was the object of the complaint. As this list did not conform to that of the Directorate of Human Resources of the Ministry of National Education, it was decided to establish a committee to carry out the necessary verification. The Government will only decide whether there are cases where rights have not been restored after this committee makes its report.
3. 168. The Committee notes this information. Recalling that the events giving rise to this complaint took place in June 1999, in the context of a legal strike to demand the payment of salary arrears and unpaid salaries, the Committee notes that the Government has still not followed up to its recommendation to revoke the decrees, and once again urges it to revoke the decrees in question. The Committee hopes that the verification committee will carry out its investigations very rapidly, and requests the Government to keep it informed of the outcome of these deliberations and the decisions taken as a result regarding the teachers still affected by the application of the decrees.
