Hours of Work (Industry) Convention, 1919 (No. 1) - Nicaragua (RATIFICATION: 1934)

The Committee notes that the Government's report contains no reply to previous comments. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

The Committee has noted the information provided by the Government in its report, which, in particular, indicates that a preliminary draft revision of the legislation was under consideration on the basis of the comments of the Committee.

The Committee trusts that the draft will be adopted in the near future and that it will lay down, after consultation with the employers' and workers' organisations concerned, the circumstances in which additional hours may be worked and the maximum number of additional hours authorised, in conformity with Article 6, paragraphs 1(b) and 2 of the Convention.

The Committee requests the Government to provide in its next report detailed information on any developments in relation to this question.
