Articles 2, 5 and 6 of the Convention. Measures to encourage permanent or regular employment. Efficiency of work in ports. The Committee notes the indications provided by the Government in a report received in September 2012. The Government reports that the majority of dockworkers employed in loading and unloading duties are irregular workers, especially in the private sector, making it difficult to report on the exact numbers of such workers. The Committee recalls that Article 2(1) of the Convention states that it shall be national policy to encourage all concerned to provide permanent or regular employment for dockworkers insofar as applicable. The Committee therefore invites the Government to include information in its next report on the measures taken to encourage the provision of permanent or regular employment for dockworkers. It also invites the Government to provide information on the arrangements for cooperation between employers and their organizations and workers’ organizations in improving the efficiency of work in ports. Please also provide a general appreciation of the manner in which the Convention is applied, including information of the practical application of welfare and vocational training provisions to dockworkers (Part V of the report form).
