Modernization of the employment service. Participation of the social partners. The Committee notes a communication from the Autonomous Confederation of Workers’ Unions (CASC), the National Confederation of Trade Union Unity (CNUS) and the National Confederation of Dominican Workers (CNTD), which was forwarded to the Government in September 2010, referring to section 444 of the Labour Code and the creation of the National Employment Commission in April 1983. The Committee notes the Government’s report received in October 2010. The Government indicates that the National Employment Service (SENAE) is a recently created body which strengthens the assistance in the field of employment provided by the General Directorate of Employment for persons who are seeking access to sources of labour and for enterprises. In October 2007, the SENAE launched the Electronic Employment Exchange and the establishment is envisaged of local employment offices in 16 cities in the country. The Government provides data on jobseekers, vacancies notified and enterprises registered, as well as the guidance workshops and employment fairs organized. The Committee invites the Government to continue providing information on the number of public employment offices established, the number of applications for employment received, the number of vacancies notified and the number of persons placed in employment by the offices (Part IV of the report form). The Committee hopes that the next report will provide information that allows it to examine the participation of the social partners in the activities of the SENAE. The Committee recalls that Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention envisage the cooperation of the representatives of employers and workers through advisory committees in the organization and operation of the employment service and in the development of a policy on employment services.
