Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1991, published 78th ILC session (1991)

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

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 its comments for several years. It notes from the Government's last report that the National Advisory Committee on Labour will examine the possibility of amending the legislation in question in order to bring it into conformity with the provisions of the Convention. The Committee hopes that the necessary measures will be taken in the near future and requests the Government to report any progress accomplished in this respect.
