Association Information
Association Activity : The International Labour Organisation this week again rapped Bangladesh for its continuing failure to provide full trade union freedoms in the country and for permitting serious violations of ILO Conventions both in law and in practice. In particular, it deplored the obstacles to the establishment of unions in Export Processing Zones and the arrest and harassment of union leaders and activists in the garment sector.

And the ILO’s Committee on the Application of Standards singled out Bangladesh for special attention expressing concern over the escalation of industrial violence stressing that freedom of association could only be exercised in a climate that was free from violence, pressure or threats of any kind against trade union leaders and members.

The Committee demanded that the Bangladesh Government take measures for the amendment of the Labour Act and the EPZ Workers Associations and Industrial Relations Act so as to bring them into full conformity with the provisions of ILO Convention 87 which Bangladesh has ratified and is duty-bound to observe.

The ILO called upon the Bangladesh Government to ensure that all workers were fully guaranteed the protection of the Convention and demanded that the necessary concrete steps to ensure this be taken without delay. The Government of Bangladesh was asked to provide full particulars to the ILO in respect of all arrests, harassment and detention of trade unionists and trade union leaders and urged to give adequate instructions to the law enforcement bodies so as to ensure that no person was arrested, detained or injured for having carried out legitimate trade union activities.

Speaking during the debate in the Committee Neil Kearney, General Secretary of the International Textile, Garment and Leather Workers’ Federation, called for exactly these measures requesting the Committee to include a special paragraph on Bangladesh that would demand the introduction of the full application of the principles of freedom of association regardless of workplace and including in Export Processing Zones as well as the dropping of false charges against trade union leaders and activists and a halt to the current campaign of harassment against trade union activity. He also called on the ILO to demand that Bangladesh ensure the full application of labour law in every factory.

Mr. Kearney reminded the Committee that in June 2006 it had demanded that Bangladesh eliminate obstacles to trade union activities in Export Processing Zones, prevent interference in trade union affairs and set lower limits for trade union registration and recognition.

He continued, “Two years on, freedom of association in the garments sector in Bangladesh has, in reality, been eliminated following the outlawing of trade union activity in the emergency regulations imposed on January 11, 2007. Thus, for the past 17 months, trade unions have been prevented from organising, meeting members, and even holding statutory meetings for the renewal of
