National policy to provide permanent or regular employment for dockworkers. The Committee notes the Government’s report received in August 2007, which recalls the position of the employers’ organizations that the Convention is inadequate and should be denounced. In the view of the General Union of Workers, the specific characteristics of dock work require the adoption of special rules, particularly in relation to occupational health and safety and the vocational training of the workers concerned. The Committee refers to its previous comments and requests the Government to continue providing detailed information on the results achieved in a tripartite context with a view to improving the efficiency of work in ports, as required by the Convention.
