Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

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

The Committee notes the Government's report, according to which the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, 1983, the Labour Relations Act, 1956, and the Wage Act, 1957, no longer include distinctions between the conditions of employment of males and females which has the effect of abolishing the prohibition on the night work of women. The Committee can only note that the Convention is no longer applied. It hopes that the Governnment will be able to re-examine the situation as regards its obligations deriving from the ratification of the Convention. Please indicate any further developments in this respect.
