Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1994, published 81st ILC session (1994)

Hours of Work (Industry) Convention, 1919 (No. 1) - Argentina (Ratification: 1933)

The Committee notes the Government's report for the period 1988-1992.

It also notes the communication from the Congress of Argentinian Workers (CTA) alleging that the draft text to reform the labour legislation envisages increasing daily working hours to ten. If that were the case, such a provision would be incompatible with Article 2 of the Convention, under which working hours shall not exceed eight in the day.

The Committee would be grateful if the Government would make its own observations on this matter, as it was invited to do by the Office in a communication dated 29 June 1993.
