Convenio sobre las organizaciones de trabajadores rurales, 1975 (núm. 141) - Afganistán (Ratificación : 1979)

The Committee takes note of the Government’s report.

The Committee notes the draft Labour Code. It notes with interest that the draft Code does not make an express reference to the Central Council of the DRA’s trade unions as to the single trade union organization enjoying certain prerogatives. The Committee requests the Government to provide a copy of the Labour Code once it is adopted.

Furthermore, the Committee requests the Government to: (1) provide statistical information concerning the number of rural workers’ organizations in the country; (2) indicate the number of workers who are members of such organizations; (3) indicate whether self-employed workers enjoy the right to establish and join organizations of their own choosing without authorization; and (4) indicate whether workers of the agriculture sector enjoy trade union rights including the right to bargain collectively, to organize their activities, and to formulate their programmes, as well as to indicate the existing system to solve collective disputes, where there is a disagreement among the parties.
