Article 3 of the Convention. Daily and weekly limits of hours of work. The Committee notes the new comments made by the Confederation of Workers of Argentina (CTA) in two separate communications, which were received on 29 and 30 August 2013 and transmitted to the Government on 23 and 26 September 2013. The CTA indicates that section 198 of Act 20.744 on labour contract (LCT), as amended by section 25 of Act 24.013, provides that limits to the normal daily working hours may be established, among others, through collective agreement and accordingly draws attention to the fact that, pursuant to section 198, various methods of calculation of working-time arrangements have been introduced for the sole purpose of getting round the daily or weekly limits on hours of work. As a result, the only limit that is complied with is the 12-hour rest between finishing work on one day and starting work on the next day. The CTA therefore considers that section 198 of the LCT should be amended in order to allow collective bargaining to establish limits on working hours only if such limits are more favourable than those prescribed by the law. Moreover, the CTA expresses the view that the Government should ratify the Weekly Rest (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1957 (No. 106). The Committee requests the Government to transmit any comments it may wish to make in response to the latest observations of the CTA.
