Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2004, published 93rd ILC session (2005)

Labour Administration Convention, 1978 (No. 150) - Guyana (Ratification: 1983)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee notes the Government’s brief reports for the period ending June 1999. It would be grateful if the Government would provide additional information on the following points.

Noting from the 1994 report that, in view of the uncompetitive remuneration in the public service, it suffers from a critical lack of personnel and means of transport to carry out field missions, the Committee requests the Government to provide detailed information on the current composition of the personnel of the public labour administration and on any developments in this situation with regard to the conditions of service and material and financial resources made available to the personnel for the discharge of their functions.

Noting also in the above report that draft legislation on occupational safety and health was being prepared in the context of an ILO technical assistance programme, the Committee notes that the Government does not provide any information in its latest report on this matter and requests it to report on the action taken as a result of the project.

Articles 1, 4 and 6 of the Convention and Part IV of the report form.  The Committee requests the Government to provide the detailed information required by the report form on the Convention under each of these provisions. Please also provide copies of the texts governing the structure and operation of the principal bodies competent in the fields of the preparation, administration and review of the national labour administration policy, and extracts from the periodic reports and other information submitted by these bodies.

Article 5.  The Committee requests the Government to indicate the functions of the tripartite committee chaired by the Minister of Labour and the six subcommittees to which it refers in its most recent report, and to provide information on their activities.
