Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2010, publiée 100ème session CIT (2011)

Convention (n° 144) sur les consultations tripartites relatives aux normes internationales du travail, 1976 - Zambie (Ratification: 1978)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Article 5(1) of the Convention. Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the detailed information contained in the Government’s report received in August 2009 in reply to the 2008 observation. The Government indicates that a Tripartite Consultative Labour Council (TCLC) meeting was held on 23 and 24 April 2009 at which items on the agenda at the 98th Session of the Conference were presented. The Committee further notes with interest that the TCLC expressed the need to ratify the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81), as it was observed that this was a critical Convention whose content needed to be applied in light of the massive foreign investment flowing into the country. The Committee invites the Government to continue providing information on the tripartite consultations held by the TCLC on the matters regarding international labour standards covered by the Convention.
