Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2006, published 96th ILC session (2007)

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Peru (Ratification: 1964)

In its observation of 2004, the Committee noted the comments of the Peruvian Workers Confederation concerning breaches of the Convention in some 20 ports where collective bargaining is banned. The Committee recalls the Government’s statement that, since the dissolution of the Maritime Labour Supervisory Commission in 1991, dock work is agreed upon freely between workers and port operators and the Ministry of Labour and Employment Promotion has 22 unions registered in the ports sector. The Committee had requested the Government to provide information on the number of collective agreements concluded in the ports sector during the period covered by the report. It reiterates that request.
