The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

The Committee recalls that its previous comments concerned the need to amend or repeal:

-  Decree No. 12 of 30 June 1980 prohibiting strikes;

-  section 4601-A of the Labour Practices Law prohibiting agricultural workers from joining industrial workers’ organizations;

-  section 4102, subsections 10 and 11, of the Labour Practices Law providing for the supervision of trade union elections by the Labour Practices Review Board; and

-  section 4506 prohibiting the workers of state enterprises and public service from organizing.

The Committee had recalled that these provisions were contrary to Articles 2, 3, 5 and 10 of the Convention.

The Committee had noted the indication in a Government’s previous report that it had submitted Decree No. 12 prohibiting strikes and all of the remaining provisions above to the national legislature for their repeal. It further noted that the Government had received assurances from the legislature that these repealing Acts would be passed at its then current session. The Committee requests the Government to indicate in its next report the progress made in this regard and to supply copies of any and all of the repealing Acts as soon as they have been adopted.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
