Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1994, publiée 81ème session CIT (1994)

Convention (n° 14) sur le repos hebdomadaire (industrie), 1921 - Argentine (Ratification: 1936)

1. The Committee notes the comments made by the Workers' Congress of Argentina (CTA) received by the Office in June 1993 and transmitted to the Government for its comments. The Committee further notes that no comments have been received from the Government in this regard. The CTA has indicated that draft labour legislation has been prepared by the Government to make weekly rest provisions more flexible, but that, in actual fact, the proposals lead to the loss of the right to weekly rest. The Government is requested to provide information, in its next report, on any measures taken which would affect the application of the Convention.

2. The Committee notes the comments made by the United Maritime Workers' Union (SOMU) received in April and communicated to the Government for comment in May 1993. The Committee further notes that no comments have been received from the Government in this regard. SOMU has indicated that Decrees Nos. 1772/91, 817/92 and 1493/92 have annulled almost all the collective agreements which had been in force in the maritime and related sectors. The Government is requested to indicate, in its next report, whether the annulment of collective agreements by virtue of the above-mentioned Decrees has affected in any way the application of the Convention to any of the undertakings listed in Article 1, paragraph 1, of the Convention.
