Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 82nd ILC session (1995)

Social Policy (Basic Aims and Standards) Convention, 1962 (No. 117) - Brazil (Ratification: 1969)

The Committee noted, in its previous comments, the observation made by the Unique Workers' Central (CUT) concerning the payment of wages to some Brazilian workers engaged in civil construction in Argentina. The Committee notes that the CUT withdrew this observation, by its communication to the ILO Office, Brazil, dated 30 May 1994, in view of the improvement to the conditions of employment in the sector brought about by the combined efforts of Brazilian and Argentinian trade unions and of the Ministry of Labour of Brazil.

The Committee hopes that the Government will provide information in its future reports on the application in practice of the provisions, in particular of Article 8 of the Convention, in accordance with point V of the report form, and include information on any difficulties encountered.

The Committee is also addressing a direct request to the Government concerning certain points.
