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

1. 104. The Committee last examined this case, which concerns dismissal, transfer and suspension of members of the Fort Aguada Beach Resort Employees’ Union (FABREU) following a strike and the employer’s refusal to recognize the most representative union for collective bargaining purposes, at its November 2007 session [see 348th Report, paras 116–118]. On that occasion, it requested the Government to indicate whether the FABREU was recognized by the enterprise management as a collective bargaining agent and could participate, through negotiation of collective agreements, in regulation of terms and conditions of employment at the Fort Aguada Beach Resort.
2. 105. In its communication dated 6 October 2008, the Government indicates that the Government of Goa (provincial government) has informed that the FABREU ceased to exist at Fort Aguada Beach Resort, Sinquerim, as the workers have formed their own union, the Fort Aguada Beach Resort Workers Association and have signed the settlements with the management on the Charter of Demands.
3. 106. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government.
