Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2000, publiée 89ème session CIT (2001)

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 reads as follows:

Article 7 of the Convention.  The Committee notes that, under the terms of section 163(2)(b) of the new Labour Code (Act No. 3/94 of 21 November 1994), the sale of goods in works stores must preferably be made in exchange for cash and without profit. It recalls that section 111(2)(b) of the former Code required such sales to be made exclusively in exchange for cash and without profit. The Committee recalls the provisions of paragraph 2 of this Article of the Convention, which require that, where access to other stores or services is not possible, the goods should be sold at fair and reasonable prices and the stores should not be operated for the purpose of securing a profit. It therefore requests the Government to indicate the measures taken to give effect to these provisions in the context of the new Code.

Article 10.  The Committee requests the Government to indicate whether Decree No. 154/PR of 5 June 1965 respecting attachment, assignment and deductions from wages and compensation is still in force and to provide full particulars of any provisions that have amended or replaced it.
