The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments initially made in 2013.
Repetition
National policy aimed at providing permanent or regular employment for dockworkers. The Committee noted the Government’s detailed report received in December 2012, which contains information on the application of Act No. 2008-660 of 4 July 2008 concerning dock reform and the inter-branch framework agreement concluded on 30 October 2008 between the professional organizations representing cargo handling enterprises, and the representative trade union organizations of dock employees. The Committee notes that on 15 April 2011, the social partners signed a single collective agreement for dockworkers and cargo handlers. The dock reform actually took effect in practice on 3 May 2011, with the first transfers of crane operators to cargo handling enterprises. The Committee requests the Government to continue to supply up to-date information in its future reports on changes in the numbers of dockworkers, and on the results achieved in the wake of the tripartite measures taken to improve the efficiency of dock work.
