Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2001, published 90th ILC session (2002)

Maternity Protection Convention (Revised), 1952 (No. 103) - Chile (Ratification: 1994)

The Committee notes the comments of the Federation of Postal Workers of Chile denouncing the situation of several women workers who it alleges were dismissed during their maternity leave. These comments were brought to the Government’s attention by a communication dated 24 September 2001. The Committee hopes that the Government will provide information in its next report on this matter.

The Committee also requests the Government to refer to the observation that it made in 1997 concerning the application of Article 4, paragraphs 3 and 5, of the Convention.
