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

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

Article 4(a) of the Convention. The Committee refers to its previous comments which it has reiterated for several years 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. The Committee notes that the necessary steps have still not been taken to bring the legislation into conformity with the Convention. It trusts that the Government will shortly be able to report progress in this respect.
