Convention (n° 137) sur le travail dans les ports, 1973 - Guyana (Ratification: 1983)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received for the second year in succession. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

The Committee takes note of the information provided by the Government in reply to its previous request. It would be grateful if the Government would forward copies of the recommendations of the Denbow Arbitration Tribunal, 1970 (in case this Tribunal is not the same body as the Waterfront Enquiry Commission, chaired by Dr. C.H. Denbow, which presented its report, appended to the Government's last report, in December, 1970), and of administrative rules and procedures referred to in its first report, in accordance with points I and IV of the report form. It also asks the Government to supply, in its next report, additional information on the following points:

Article 4, paragraph 2, of the Convention. Please describe the measures instituted to prevent or minimize detrimental effects on dockworkers when a reduction in the strength of a register becomes necessary, and the criteria and procedures laid down for the implementation of these measures.

Article 6. Please indicate, in the next report, measures taken or envisaged to ensure that appropriate vocational training provisions apply to dockworkers, in order to give full effect to this Article of the Convention.
