Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Article 1, paragraph 1, of the Convention. The Committee again refers to its previous comments in which it pointed out the need to extend the application of the Convention to certain categories of workers not covered by the Labour Act (Private Sector) of 1964 (i.e., workers in enterprises operating without recourse to power and employing less than five persons, and casual and temporary workers engaged for periods of less than six months). In its previous reports, the Government referred to a revised draft of the Labour Code which cancelled the exceptions envisaged in the Act of 1964. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate whether it is still planned to adopt the new Code or to take other measures to give effect to the provisions of the Convention, and to indicate any progress made in this respect.
