Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2014, Publicación: 104ª reunión CIT (2015)

Repetition

Articles 2 and 6 of the Convention. Limits on normal daily and weekly hours of work and permissible exceptions. The Committee notes the observations made by the National Union of Angolan Workers (UNTA) of 2008 concerning the application of the Convention. The UNTA indicates that contrary to section 321 of the General Labour Act No. 2/2000, which provides for the adoption of regulations for the implementation of the Act within 18 months from the date of its entry into force, no such regulations have so far been adopted, and as a result, numerous categories of workers currently excluded from the scope of application of the General Labour Act remain unprotected. While noting that no industrial workers appear to be excluded from the General Labour Act under section 2 of the Act, the Committee requests the Government to provide clarifications with regard to the adoption of the regulations provided for in section 321 of the Act, especially in so far as they may impact on the matters dealt with in the Convention. In addition, the Committee requests the Government to provide in its next report detailed information on the points raised previously regarding the application of Articles 5 (standby and alternating working time arrangements), 6 (temporary exceptions), 7 (list of exceptions) and 8 (sanctions) of the Convention.
