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

Article 2 of the Convention. Right of workers, without distinction whatsoever, to establish and join organizations. Minimum age. The Committee notes with satisfaction the Government’s indication that the Act of 25 June 2018 amended section 212 (4) of the Labour Code, thus allowing minors who have reached the minimum age for admission to the labour market to exercise their trade union rights without prior permission from their parents or guardians.

Article 3. Right of workers’ organizations to freely organize their activities and formulate their programmes. The Committee notes with regret that the Government merely reiterates that a strike is only lawful when the complainant party has exhausted all remedies under section 187(2) of the Labour Code and that this matter will be submitted for the opinion of National Council for Labour, Employment and Social Security (CONTESS). Recalling that the situation can be problematic when the legislation does not set any time limit for the exhaustion of prior procedures before calling a strike, the Committee once again requests the Government to take the necessary measures to amend the legislation in this regard.
