Article 2 of the Convention. Weekly rest period. The Committee recalls its previous comment in which it noted the comments of the Confederation of Trade Unions of the Republika Srpska concerning serious problems of implementation of the labour laws in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and in particular the violation of the legal provisions on weekly rest both in the public and private sectors. In addition, the workers’ organization drew attention to the problem of grey economy, or informal sector, which represents more than 40 per cent of the workforce and which openly contravenes all legal provisions on working hours, weekly rest or annual leave. The Committee again asks the Government to provide its views with regard to the observations of the Confederation of Trade Unions of the Republika Srpska in order to enable the Committee to better evaluate the manner in which the Convention is implemented in law and practice.
The Committee is also addressing a request on certain other points directly to the Government.
