Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 83rd ILC session (1996)

The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report, and particularly the indication that the observations made by the General Union of Workers of Guinea are not based on objective grounds. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would provide additional information on the proportion of the work of labour inspectors relating to conciliation and the calculation of severance payments, in relation to the overall duties entrusted to them, and particularly with regard to inspection visits and allied duties, so that the Committee can make a better assessment of the situation (Article 3 of the Convention). The Committee also notes that the Government's report does not provide precise indications as to the status and terms and conditions of employment of labour inspectors, which would enable it to assess the independence and impartiality of labour inspectors in the discharge of their duties (Article 6). The Committee requests the Government to provide detailed information on this matter.

The Committee is also addressing a request directly to the Government on other matters.
