Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1994, published 81st ILC session (1994)

Night Work (Women) Convention (Revised), 1948 (No. 89) - Ghana (Ratification: 1959)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation:

Article 4(a) of the Convention. The Committee referred to its previous comments which it has reiterated for several years concerning the need to amend section 41(2)(a) of the Labour Decree of 1967 which, contrary to the Convention, permits the suspension of the prohibition of night work by women when work is interrupted by reason of a strike. The Committee noted that the necessary steps have still not been taken to bring the legislation into conformity with the Convention.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
