Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2004, published 93rd ILC session (2005)

Article 3 of the Convention. Declaration of application to certain establishments. The Committee notes with interest the information provided by the Government in reply to its previous comment. In the opinion of the Legal Services Department of the Labour and Social Security Secretariat, labour legislation applies to all persons and ensures weekly rest for all workers employed in trading establishments or offices. Therefore, as the Committee understands it, the application of the Convention to the following establishments would not pose any particular difficulty: (a) establishments, institutions and administrative services providing personal services; (b) post and telecommunication services; (c) newspaper undertakings; and (d) theatres and places of public entertainment. It therefore again requests the Government to consider the possibility of sending a declaration to the Office indicating that it accepts the obligations of the Convention with regard to these establishments, in accordance with Article 3, paragraph 2, of the Convention.
