Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1989, Publicación: 76ª reunión CIT (1989)

Convenio sobre el trabajo portuario, 1973 (núm. 137) - Egipto (Ratificación : 1982)

The Committee notes that as the Government's report gives no further particulars in reply to the earlier direct request, the Committee must return to the question in a new direct request. It hopes that the Government will without fail take the necessary steps and supply the information requested on the following points:

Article 1, paragraph 2, of the Convention. Please indicate the arrangements made for revising the definitions of the terms "dockworkers" and "dock work" in the light of new methods of cargo handling and their effect on the various dockworker occupations. Please indicate the manner in which the organisations of employers and workers concerned are consulted or otherwise participate in the establishment and revision of these definitions.

Article 2. Please describe the measures taken to encourage the provision of permanent or regular employment for dockworkers. Please indicate, where permanent or regular employment is not practicable, the minimum periods of employment or minimum income assured to dockworkers and describe the manner in which they are assured.

Article 5. Please describe the arrangements for co-operation between employers and their organisations and workers' organisations in improving the efficiency of work in ports, and the participation, if any, of the competent authorities in these arrangements.
