Convention (n° 87) sur la liberté syndicale et la protection du droit syndical, 1948 - Eswatini (Ratification: 1978)

Article 3 of the Convention. The Committee recalls that, for a number of years, it had reminded the Government that a general prohibition on sympathy strikes could lead to abuse and requested it to indicate whether, in practice, workers may engage in sympathy strikes without incurring sanctions. The Committee previously noted from the Government’s report that the matter would be considered by the Labour Advisory Board once a proposal was submitted by the workers’ federations. The Committee notes from the Government’s report that the workers’ side has not yet submitted any proposal to amend the Industrial Relations Act (IRA). The Committee requests the Government to provide information on any development in this regard.
