AFRICAN REGIONAL ORGANISATION OF THE
INTERNATIONAL TRADE UNION CONFEDERATION Creating a better world for workers in Africa and beyond

Africa

In Africa, the implementation of labour laws - when in place- and respect for trade union rights, remain problematic. Numerous violations were again recorded in 2010. In addition to the structural issues, unions in the region often have to grapple with anti-union actions both from private employers and governments. Lawful strikes are difficult to call in many countries, and strike repression is rife and often leads to violence.
