Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2009, published 99th ILC session (2010)

Workers with Family Responsibilities Convention, 1981 (No. 156) - Japan (Ratification: 1995)

The Committee notes the observations of the All Japan Construction, Traffic and Transportation Workers’ Union Tokyo dated 13 October 2009, concerning the long hours of bus workers, which the union states are incompatible with taking responsibility for the family, and thus violate the Convention. As the Government has not yet had an opportunity to reply to these observations, the Committee invites the Government to provide any information that could be of assistance to the Committee in examining this matter.
