Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - Djibouti (Ratification: 1978)

The Committee thanks the Government for the information provided in its reports on the application of the Convention.

1. The Committee notes that, under article 27 of the Statutes of the General Union of Djibouti Workers (UGTD), the Congress may grant or refuse membership by national trade unions on presentation of their application and written acceptance of the statutes and rules of the UGTD.

The Committee asks the Government to indicate what use is made of this provision in practice and, in particular, whether the UGTD has already expelled a national trade union and, if so, what were the consequences of this action.

2. With reference to section 20 of Decree No. 83-099/PR/FP of 10 September 1983 establishing the conditions for the exercise of the right to organise and the right to strike, the Committee would be grateful if the Government would state which categories of public servants do not enjoy the right to strike under specific conditions of service or because they are engaged in employment which is included in a list established by Order.
