Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

Night Work (Women) Convention (Revised), 1948 (No. 89) - Ghana (Ratification: 1959)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

Article 4(a) of the Convention. The Committee refers to its previous comments concerning the need to amend section 41(2)(a) of the Labour Decree of 1967 which, contrary to the Convention, permits the suspension of the prohibition of night work by women when work is interrupted by reason of a strike. It recalls that this question has been the subject of comments for several years. It hopes that the necessary measures will be adopted in the near future to ensure the conformity of the legislation with these provisions of the Convention, and requests the Government to report any progress accomplished in this respect.
