Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1999, published 88th ILC session (2000)

Collective Bargaining Convention, 1981 (No. 154) - Argentina (Ratification: 1993)

The Committee notes the comments of the Union of Press Workers of Buenos Aires (UTPBA), dated 16 June 1998, concerning the possible repeal of the statutes on the conditions of service of professional journalists and on the conditions of service of administrative employees of newspaper companies, the repeal of which the UTPBA considers would adversely affect the application of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government's statement to the effect that the statutes on the conditions of service regulating journalistic activities continue to remain in force and that no text has been drafted to repeal them. Consequently, the Committee shall not pursue its examination of this question.
