Maternity Protection Convention, 1919 (No. 3) - Panama (Ratification: 1958)

The Committee notes the observations made in April 1991 by the National Council of Organised Workers (CONATO), and the Government's reply to them.

The Committee notes in particular that the question of employment conditions in the export zones is currently being examined at the Legislative Assembly. It hopes that the Government will not fail to provide detailed information in its next report on the results of the above examination along with copies of any legislation that is adopted regarding working conditions in the export zones. It also asks the Government to provide a copy of Act No. 16 of 1990.

With regard to Act No. 25 of 1990, the Committee refers to its observation on this point under Convention No. 87.
