Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

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

The Committee takes note of the Government's report. It observes that it contains no reply to the points raised in its previous direct request which read as follows:

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 Indian and Pakistani citizens; domestic workers and employees holding similar positions; and seafarers.

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.
