Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1991, published 78th ILC session (1991)

Hours of Work and Rest Periods (Road Transport) Convention, 1979 (No. 153) - Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of) (Ratification: 1983)

The Committee notes with regret that for the third consecutive year the Government's report has not been received. 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 Government's first report and of the brief information referring essentially to the general provisions of the Labour Act and the collective agreement concluded in 1981 in the Federal District and Miranda State.

It also notes that section 276 of the Regulations of the Labour Act of 1973 and section 71 of the Labour Act of 1983 provide for the adoption of resolutions or regulations establishing standards in transport work.

The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate the measures adopted or contemplated to give effect to these texts. It hopes that the next report will contain full information in answer to the questions of the report form on each of the Articles of the Convention. The Government is also requested to supply a copy of resolution No. 1 of 23 February 1964 of the Ministry of Communications, which has not been received in the ILO.
