The Committee notes the observations of the Trade Union of Workers of Guatemala (UNSITRAGUA) received on 22 October 2014 relating to the situation of agricultural workers in Guatemala. In a report by various organizations of agricultural workers, a number of issues were raised with regard to the application of the Convention by Guatemala, such as: engagement and recruitment; wages; payment of overtime hours; annual paid holiday; registration with the Guatemalan Institute of Social Security; migrant workers; health and safety conditions; housing and food; and child labour and labour inspection. The Committee reminds the Government that several of these issues have already been raised in previous comments. The Committee requests the Government to provide its comments in this regard.
