Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2010, Publicación: 100ª reunión CIT (2011)

Referring to its observation, the Committee draws the Government’s attention to the following point.

Articles 5(a), 17 and 18 of the Convention. Cooperation between the labour inspectorate and the judicial bodies and penalties imposed on the perpetrators of violations. According to the Government, the collaboration between the labour inspectorate and the judicial bodies is unsatisfactory. The Government regrets the lack of a common policy concerning labour legislation adopted by both the judicial bodies and the labour inspectorate. It indicates that the case law very often varies from one court to another in disputes of the same nature. The Committee requests the Government to refer to its 2007 general observation, in which it points out that effective cooperation between the labour inspection system and the judicial system may be achieved through the adoption of legislative provisions and the establishment of educational and informative exchanges. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the measures taken or envisaged to improve the cooperation between the labour inspectorate and the judicial bodies.
