Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1994, publiée 81ème session CIT (1994)

The Committee notes that no report has been received from the Government. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the following matters raised in its previous direct request:

Article 25 of the Convention. The Committee noted the observation by the Federation of Aruba Workers (Federacion di Trahadoran di Aruba) that apparently a recruiting agent from Colombia supplied a local hotel with workers, but that these were obliged to perform work after their eight-hour shift at the hotel for a bakery. The Federation stated that due to the increased demand for workers on the island, it has observed that there are many recruiting agents operating.

The Committee again requests the Government to provide information regarding these allegations and on any measures taken or envisaged to control the activities of recruiting agents and the conditions in which migrant workers are recruited and employed, so as to ensure compliance with the Conventions.
