Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body
Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body- 121. At its March 2013 meeting, the Committee made the following
recommendations on the matters still pending [see 367th Report, para. 1126]:
- (a) As regards the non-renewal of the administrative service
contracts of three officials and seven members of SITRAUSM, the Committee requests
the Government to conduct an inquiry into the grounds for non-renewal of the
contracts so that it can determine whether or not San Marcos Higher National
University, a public institution, committed acts of anti-union discrimination. The
Committee requests the Government to keep it informed in this regard.
- (b) The Committee requests the Government to conduct an inquiry
into the allegations of refusal to grant trade union leave to officials of SITRAUSM
and refusal to pay or check off the union dues of the aforementioned organization,
and also into the alleged refusal by the university to engage in collective
bargaining with the aforementioned union.
- 122. As to recommendation (a), the Government denies having violated
trade union rights and states in its communication of 18 July 2013 that the dismissal of
workers employed under administrative service contracts upon the expiration of those
contracts was not motivated by anti-union sentiment, as only two officials from the
executive committee of SITRAUSM, which has 22 members, were dismissed upon the
expiration of their contracts; it is therefore not a question of dismissals but of the
expiration of contracts. Furthermore, the Government states that the San Marcos Higher
National University has been making deductions on behalf of SITRAUSM since June 2012,
deductions which are duly authorized by the staff employed under an administrative
service contract who are members of the trade union, and granted union leave to the
executive committee in accordance with Resolution No. 01273-R12 of 9 March 2012, with a
view to regularizing the period between 11 August 2011 and 10 August 2013.
- 123. The Government adds that the workers employed under an
administrative service contract are entitled to establish trade unions and to bargain
collectively through their organizations. As to the collective bargaining of the trade
union’s list of claims for the period 2011–12, a number of problems arose in 2012,
including, for example, the fact that the trade union registered itself as representing
private-sector workers (when, in reality, all its members are employed under an
administrative service contract) and not workers employed under an administrative
service contract. However, the Government states that the trade union has submitted its
list of claims for the period 2012–13 in accordance with the relevant legislation and
that the list of claims is currently being processed.
- 124. The Committee hopes that the collective bargaining process will be
concluded in the near future. The Committee notes with interest the information provided
by the Government concerning the payment of union dues to the trade union and the union
leave granted to its officials, and requests the Government to indicate whether the
trade union members whose contracts were not renewed have filed administrative appeals
or appeals with the judicial authority on trade union grounds.
