Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1993, publiée 80ème session CIT (1993)

Article 1, paragraph 1, of the Convention. The Committee refers to its previous comments in which it pointed out the need to extend the scope 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). It notes the Government's statement in its report that the Bill to amend Act No. 38 of 1964 currently in force, will include the categories of workers hitherto excluded. The Committee therefore hopes that the necessary amendments will be made to ensure that the new Act gives effect to the provisions of the Convention in this respect and asks the Government to provide a copy of it as soon as it has been adopted.
