Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2016, published 106th ILC session (2017)

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Guinea (Ratification: 1959)

The Committee notes the information provided by the Government on the work leading to the determination of the representativity of Guinean employers’ organizations in March 2016. The Committee notes that in June 2016 the Committee on Freedom of Association examined a case in which several trade union organizations challenged the process for determining, through elections, the representativity of trade unions in the public and private sectors, and in particular Decree No. D/2014/257/PRG/SGG of 18 December 2014 issuing regulations for these elections (Case No. 3169, 378th Report). The Committee requests the Government to indicate any new developments in relation to the judicial and administrative appeals launched against this Decree.

Furthermore, the Committee notes the new Labour Code (Act No. L/2014/072/CNT of 10 January 2014), especially the provisions relating to the negotiation and implementation of collective agreements (Book 4, Titles 1 and 2). The Committee invites the Government to provide information on the application in practice of these provisions, including the collective agreements concluded by the social partners, the sectors concerned and the number of workers covered.
