Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Night Work (Women) Convention (Revised), 1948 (No. 89) - South Africa (Ratification: 1950)

The Committee refers to its previous comments in which it noted that, according to the Government's reports, the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, 1983, the Labour Relations Act, 1956, and the Wage Act, 1975 had the effect of abolishing the prohibition on the night work of women. It again expresses the hope that the Government will be able to re-examine the situation as regards its obligation deriving from the ratification of the Convention and that it will indicate any further developments in this respect. Meanwhile, the Committee asks the Government to provide statistical data and all other information concerning the night work of women in its next report.
