The Committee notes the communication dated 1 September 2006 received from the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU), concerning the application of the Convention, which was forwarded to the Government on 3 October 2006 for comments. As far as the ZCTU’s comments relate to freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining, the Committee will address them under the Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87), and the Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98). With regard to the issues raised relating to pregnancy and maternity, as well as discrimination based on the ground of political opinion, the Committee requests the Government to provide a reply with its next report.

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