Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1998, publiée 87ème session CIT (1999)

The Committee notes the detailed information provided by the Government in its reports. It requests the Government to provide additional particulars on the following point.

Article 7 of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government's indication that this Article of the Convention generally is not applicable to the United States and that, in any event, the listed categories of workers, where they exist, are not excluded from appropriate functions of the system of labour administration. The Government states that, for example, agricultural workers are excluded from federal labour relations coverage, but that other legislation such as fair labour standards, occupational safety and health protection, and social security benefits may extend to them. The Committee would appreciate if the Government would provide details of any extension of the functions of the system of labour administration to include activities relating to the conditions of work and working life of the categories of workers referred to under Article 7(b) and (d), as well as details of any activities carried out.
