Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2005, published 95th ILC session (2006)

Labour Administration Convention, 1978 (No. 150) - Portugal (Ratification: 1981)

The Committee notes the Government’s report containing useful information on each of the points raised in its previous request and transmitting a comment made by the General Worker’s Union (UGT). The Committee notes that the trade union organization believes that, at times, the services responsible for mediation and conciliation are not involved to a sufficient degree. Referring in this regard to Article 6, paragraph 2(c), of the Convention, as well as to Paragraph 10 of the Labour Administration Recommendation, 1978 (No. 158), the Committee requests the Government to provide in its next report any information it considers useful on the mediation and conciliation activities of the competent services of the labour administration system.
