Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2008, published 98th ILC session (2009)

Part V of the report form. In reply to the direct request of 2007, the Government indicates that owing to the modernization process in dock work undertaken by the Costa Rican Pacific Harbours Institute (INCOP), the Puerto Caldera concession was ended on 11 August 2006. INCOP declared the workers’ employment was at an end and, by means of an agreement between the parties involved, the collective agreement regulating the conditions of work of all INCOP workers was declared to be terminated. The Committee requests the Government to supply a report containing up to date information on the number of dockworkers covered by the Convention and in general on the results achieved in a tripartite framework to improve the efficiency of dock work (Part V of the report form).

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2009.]
