The International Labour Organization and state workers

In countries with a hybrid civil service such as Cameroon the legal status of state human resources is generally not analogous. On the one hand there are civil servants whose statutes provide for a more or less comfortable career while on the other hand state employees bound to the state by an employment contract are dragging their heels. Unfortunately this situation does not seem to be of much interest to the International Labour Organization which has made the ideal of social justice its leitmotiv. In order to put an end to this state-sponsored discrimination in employment the ILO should ensure better dissemination of its Convention n°151 on Labor Relations in the Public Service which Cameroon would benefit from ratifying.
