Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2003, publiée 92ème session CIT (2004)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report contains no reply to the second point raised in its previous direct request. It hopes that the next report will include full information on the matters raised in this point of the direct request, which read as follows:

Article 8, paragraph 3, of the Convention. In its report of 1985, the Government had indicated that the first step of implementation of Article 8, paragraph 3, of the Convention (concerning compensatory rest) was carried out by taking it into account in the establishment of collective labour agreements. In this regard, the Committee notes the collective agreement concerning workers in the Hilton Hotel provided by the Government with its latest report. Hotel workers, however, are not necessarily covered by this Convention unless so declared by the Government under Article 3, paragraph 2. The Government is therefore invited to consider extending the application of the Convention to hotel workers by communicating to the International Labour Office a declaration in the terms of Article 3, paragraph 2, of the Convention. The Government is, in addition, requested to supply copies of any collective agreements regulating weekly rest days for workers in the establishments enumerated in Article 2 of the Convention.
