Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2014, published 104th ILC session (2015)

Repetition

Article 2 of the Convention. Weekly rest. The Committee notes the observations made in 2009 by the National Union of Angolan Workers (UNTA), according to which cases of non-compliance with the Convention have been reported especially in the construction sector. In its reply, the Government indicates that the labour inspection services are responsible for controlling and punishing any infringements of the relevant legislation. The Government also refers to statistical information on inspection results that are regularly communicated to the Office. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would continue to supply up-to-date information on the practical application of the Convention, including, for instance, statistics on the number of workers covered by the relevant legislation, copies of collective agreements containing clauses on weekly rest, extracts from reports of the labour inspection services showing the number of any infringements observed and sanctions imposed, sample copies of any standard working time chart that the Government may have approved for the purpose of keeping workers informed of the weekly rest arrangements applicable to them, etc.
