Hours of Work (Industry) Convention, 1919 (No. 1) - India (RATIFICATION: 1921)

The Committee notes the Government's report received in December 1997. It also notes the observation made by the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU), supplied in the report. The Mahabubnagar District Palamoori Contract Labour Union sent an observation to the Office in April 1997 denouncing, inter alia, the 13-hour working day as well as the lack of a weekly rest day for the Palamoori workers in the Goa region. A copy of the communication was sent to the Government which has not, as yet, made any comments. The Committee intends to examine these matters at its 1998 Session.
