Suites données aux recommandations du comité et du Conseil d’administration - Rapport No. 344, Mars 2007

Cas no 2328 (Zimbabwe) - Date de la plainte: 01-MARS -04 - Clos

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

1. 248. The Committee last examined this case, which concerns anti-union discrimination in relation to the dismissal of the President of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) and the indefinite suspension of three other ZCTU executives at its March 2006 session [see 340th Report, paras 229–232]. With respect to the three union executives, Messrs Nkala, Chizura and Munandi, the Committee requested the Government to indicate the results of the arbitrator’s decision concerning their suspension, as well as whether an appeal had been filed and, if so, its final result. The Committee also asked the Government to keep it informed of the outcome of the arbitration proceedings initiated by ZCTU President, Mr Matombo, against his dismissal.
2. 249. In a communication dated 6 September 2006, the Government indicated that Messrs Nkala, Chizura and Munandi had appealed the decision of the arbitrator to the Labour Court, and that Mr Matombo had also appealed to the Labour Court following the arbitrator’s decision respecting his dismissal; both appeals were still pending.
3. 250. The Committee takes note of the information provided by the Government. Noting that in both cases the arbitration awards had apparently decided against the reinstatement of concerned individuals, the Committee requests the Government to transmit copies of both of the arbitration decisions in these cases and to inform it of the outcome of the parties’ respective appeals to the Labour Court.
