Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2008, Publicación: 98ª reunión CIT (2009)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 1 of the Convention. The Committee notes that the Labour Act (No. 2/1990) applies to all undertakings, enterprises or establishments in the country (section 3). However, according to section 4, the work of public officials is excluded from the scope of the Act and is subject to special regulations. The Committee requests the Government to provide a copy of the regulations on hours of work that apply to these officials. Furthermore, the daily and weekly limits on hours of work do not apply, among others, to persons performing duties which, by their nature, do not involve fixed working days (section 48(4)). The Committee requests the Government to provide more specific information on the categories of workers so excluded.

Article 5. The Committee notes from the information supplied by the Government in its last report that collective work stoppages for the reasons set out in Article 5 of the Convention are not frequent and that, consequently, there are no specific regulations on this subject. The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether, in practice, the hours lost in such circumstances may be made up and, if so, under what conditions.
