Convenio sobre el derecho de sindicación y de negociación colectiva, 1949 (núm. 98) - Bosnia y Herzegovina (Ratificación : 1993)

The Committee notes the comments submitted by the Confederation of Trade Unions of Bosnia and Herzegovina (CTUBH) dated 20 August 2009 and the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) dated 26 August 2009 on the application of the Convention.

Article 4 of the Convention. Measures to encourage and promote the development of voluntary negotiation between employers’ and workers’ organizations. In several of its previous comments, the Committee requested the Government to indicate any measures taken or contemplated in order to encourage and promote the full development and utilization of machinery for voluntary negotiation between employers’ and workers’ organizations, including at the level of the Republic as a whole. The Committee notes that the Government indicates in its report that public authorities cannot influence or ensure the organization of trade unions in the private sector. Nevertheless, the Committee also observes from the Government’s report that in the Brcko District, no collective agreement has been signed between the trade unions and employers of that district. The Committee once again requests the Government to provide it with statistics on the number and coverage of collective agreements that have been concluded throughout the territory.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
