Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 83rd ILC session (1996)

Labour Statistics Convention, 1985 (No. 160) - United States of America (Ratification: 1990)

Article 5 of the Convention. The Committee would like to draw the Government's attention to the obligation under this Article to communicate to the Office, as soon as practicable, the published statistics, for example, the 1990 Population Census compiled in pursuance of Article 8 of the Convention.

Article 15. The Committee notes the Government's statement to the effect that the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has been unable to include work stoppages involving less than 1,000 workers in the survey on work stoppages due to lack of financial resources, and that BLS nevertheless considers that for most analytical purposes data on employers with 1,000 or more employees are sufficient in the United States. The Committee requests the Government to keep this matter under review so as to ensure that the established limit is as low as possible, and to indicate in future reports any development in this regard.
