Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81) - Luxembourg (RATIFICATION: 1958)

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:

The Committee notes that, with the creation of the function of labour inspector, the function of labour supervisor, performed by unionists appointed by the Minister of Labour at the proposal of their trade unions, will be suppressed. It notes however that, among the selection criteria for candidates having passed the labour inspector aptitude and competency examination to be organized by the Labour and Mines Inspectorate, occupational and union experience will be given special consideration. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would indicate whether the outright exclusion from the examination of persons with the general aptitudes and competencies required for the job of labour inspector, but no union experience, is envisaged. The Government is also asked to indicate whether and in what manner customs and excise officers who have the authority to impose sanctions in the areas under their responsibility will be integrated in the inspectorate.
