Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 1999, Publicación: 88ª reunión CIT (2000)

Convenio (revisado) sobre el trabajo nocturno (mujeres), 1948 (núm. 89) - Guatemala (Ratificación : 1952)

The Committee notes that the Government refers to its report of 1989 regarding the list of relevant legislation.

However, the Committee notes that the provision of section 148, subsection (b), of the Labour Code (Decree No. 1441 of 1961), which used to prohibit women's night work was deleted by virtue of Decree No. 64-92 regarding the reform of the Labour Code (Diario de centroam rica, 2 Dec. 1992, No. 23, pp. 521-524). Section 148 of the Labour Code now prohibits night work only of minors, but not of women in general.

The Committee requests the Government to supply information on any measures taken to prohibit the night work of women without distinction of age in any public or private industrial undertaking, in accordance with the provisions of Article 3 of the Convention.
