Termination of Employment Convention, 1982 (No. 158) - Gabon (Ratification: 1988)

Referring to its earlier direct requests to the Government, the Committee notes with interest the relevant provisions of Act No. 3/94 of 21 November 1994 (Labour Code). The Committee in particular notes with satisfaction the provisions that give effect to Article 7 of the Convention, by providing for an interview procedure in cases of termination of employment related to a worker's conduct or performance (section 51 of the Code), and to Article 5(c) of the Convention, by making it unlawful to terminate employment on the ground that a worker has filed a complaint, or participated in proceedings against an employer for alleged violation of legislation, or has had recourse to competent administrative authorities (section 74 of the Code).

The Committee is also addressing a direct request on certain points to the Government.
