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

The Committee takes note of the information supplied by the Government in reply to its earlier comments. It notes, in particular, that Act No. 83 of 11 December 1979 was repealed and replaced with Act No. 95 of 19 September 1989.

Article 4, paragraph 3, of the Convention. The Committee notes that among the members of the Employment Committee established in accordance with section 25 of Act No. 95 of 19 September 1989 (which is similar to section 25 of the repealed Act No. 83 of 11 December 1979) there are four representatives of legally recognised workers' trade union organisations and two representatives of legally recognised employers' organisations, whereas this Article requires that the representatives of employers and workers on advisory committees shall be appointed "in equal numbers". The Committee also notes the statement in the Government's report dated 6 June 1990 to the effect that the government authorities have taken note of the observations formulated by the Committee and have promised to give the matter their utmost attention with a view to bringing the legislation into conformity with the Convention. The Committee hopes that measures necessary to ensure full conformity of the national legislation with the Convention on this point will be taken in the near future.
