Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2003, published 92nd ILC session (2004)

Weekly Rest (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1957 (No. 106) - Gabon (Ratification: 1973)

The Committee notes the Government’s report and the information given in reply to its previous comments.

Article 2 of the Convention. The Committee notes that Decree No. 728/PR/MTEFP of 29 June 1998 establishing the distribution of working hours repeals, among others, Decree No. 174/PR/MTERHFP of 14 February 1990 on the same issue, which explicitly includes the public sector. Since Decree No. 728/PR/MTEFP only covers the para-public and private sectors, the Committee reiterates its former request and asks the Government to indicate the national provisions applicable to weekly rest within the public sector, the Convention covering the sectors listed in Article 2, irrespective of whether they are public or private.

Articles 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11. The Committee again requests the Government to provide a copy of the Collective Agreement on Commerce.
