Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2012, published 102nd ILC session (2013)

Human Resources Development Convention, 1975 (No. 142) - El Salvador (Ratification: 1995)

Communication from the National Association of Employers. The Committee notes the comments of the National Association of Employers (ANEP) sent to the Government in September 2012. The International Organisation of Employers (IOE) expressed support for ANEP’s observations. ANEP indicates that without any consultation, the President of the Republic tabled bills setting out 19 reforms to as many laws, with a view to changing the employers’ role in the management of institutions such as the Salvadoran Social Security Institute, the Salvadoran Vocational Training Institute and the Social Fund for Housing. ANEP emphasizes the lack of any tripartite consultation or social dialogue, pointing out that the reforms were presented to the Congress of the Republic without consulting the Higher Labour Council in its capacity as a tripartite body. The Committee invites the Government to include in the report due in 2013 any comments it deems appropriate on ANEP’s observations. The Committee hopes that the Government’s report in 2013 will contain up-to-date information on the matters examined in the 2008 observation.
