Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2007, published 97th ILC session (2008)

Seafarers' Welfare Convention, 1987 (No. 163) - Mexico (Ratification: 1990)

The Committee takes note of the information sent by the Government in its report. It draws the Government’s attention to the following point.

Article 1, paragraph 1(b) of the Convention. Welfare facilities and services provided for seafarers on board ships. In reply to the Committee’s previous comments, the Government quotes an extract from collective agreement 1025/90, under which the enterprise bound by the agreement is required to provide leisure facilities and services (colour television, video recorder, videos, books, etc.) to seafarers on board its ships. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate whether the abovementioned collective agreement is enforceable and applies country-wide, and if not, to state whether there are other collective agreements in this area. Please also provide a copy of collective agreement 102/90.
