Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2002, published 91st ILC session (2003)

Weekly Rest (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1957 (No. 106) - Ethiopia (Ratification: 1991)

The Committee notes the information in the Government’s report. It requests additional information on the following points.

Article 3. Referring to its previous comments, the Committee notes that no progress has been achieved in respect of the regulations to be issued by the Council of Ministers under section 3, paragraph 3(c), of Labour Proclamation No. 42/1993 on the conditions of work applicable to personal services. It trusts that the Government will be in the position in the near future to take the measures necessary to apply the Convention to establishments, institutions and administrative services providing personal services. Please keep the Office informed on the developments in this respect and provide a copy of the relevant text when it becomes available.

The Committee recalls that existing legislation and collective agreements appear to ensure the application of the Convention to post and telecommunication services, newspaper undertakings and theatres and places of public entertainment. It again invites the Government to communicate a declaration to the Office formally accepting the obligations of the Convention with regard to these establishments, in accordance with Article 3, paragraph 2.
