Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - Togo (Ratification: 1960)

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee takes note of the Government's report indicating that the repeal of Ordinance No. 77-5 of 4 March 1977, which provided for the compulsory deduction of trade union dues for the National Confederation of Workers of Togo (CNTT), resulted in the repeal of Decree No. 77-66 of 14 March 1977 fixing the amount of trade union dues.

It therefore requests the Government to confirm, in its next report, that section 4(3) of the Labour Code which stipulates that trade union dues may be deducted from the salaries of workers following their written consent, now governs the regime of trade union dues.
