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

Workers' Representatives Convention, 1971 (No. 135) - Jordan (Ratification: 1979)

The Committee notes the Government's reports indicating that the draft Labour Code which is in the process of being elaborated is currently before Parliament for discussion.

The Committee regrets that although drafting began in 1982, the Labour Code has still not been adopted and that there appear to be no other provisions in laws or agreements that give effect to Article 2 of the Convention. It is therefore bound to ask the Government once again to take steps at the earliest possible date to enable workers' representatives to carry out their functions promptly and efficiently (in the light of the examples set out in the Workers' Representatives Recommendation, 1971 (No. 143) such as: granting them time off to carry out their functions and attend meetings, training courses, seminars, conferences and congresses; and giving them access to all workplaces and to the management, and facilities to collect trade union dues and display notices). It asks the Government to indicate the measures taken in this respect in its next report.
