Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2007, publiée 97ème session CIT (2008)

Referring also to its observation, the Committee notes from the annual report of the Labour and Mining Inspectorate (ITM) for 2005 that in its activities relating to the Act on the Posting of Workers, labour inspectors cooperate with the secondment service, the mobile customs brigade or the regional services of the special police in the Inter-Administrative Task Force Against Illegal Work (CALTI). The Task Force, which if need be can call on 200 supervisory staff from six to eight ministries, departments or public establishments, has carried out numerous “crackdowns” on worksites all over the country. The Committee also notes from the annual report that 21 large-scale interventions and approximately 210 medium-scale interventions carried out in 3,128 foreign enterprises led to the closure of seven sites that are being constructed as a preventive measure. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate the other types of sanctions imposed on employers found to be in breach of the legislation on conditions of work and the protection of workers (Articles 17 and 18 of the Convention). It also requests the Government to provide details of the consequences of offences reported in connection with the rights of illegal foreign workers acquired during their period of employment.
