Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1989, published 76th ILC session (1989)

Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - Kuwait (Ratification: 1961)

In a previous direct request, the Committee noted that the Labour Code, Act No. 38 of 1964 (section 2), did not apply to certain categories of workers, including: state and public service workers; fixed-term workers employed by the State under the regulations concerning the employment of Hindu and Pakistani citizens; domestic workers and employees holding similar positions; and seamen.

The Committee once more requests the Government to communicate any new Act or regulation which would grant these workers the right to organise, since they should enjoy this right under Article 2 of the Convention.
