Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1992, published 79th ILC session (1992)

Labour Clauses (Public Contracts) Convention, 1949 (No. 94) - Brazil (Ratification: 1965)

With reference to its previous observation, the Committee notes the Government's statement in its report that, while the Government considers that the practical application of the Convention is already ensured, the Ministry of Labour and Welfare is conducting studies with the view of revising legislation so as to fulfil all the requirements of the Convention. It also notes that the Government requests, in this regard, the collaboration of the International Labour Office with a view to elaborating draft legislation which ensures the application of the Convention in all of its terms.

The Committee trusts that the Government will take, in the very near future with the collaboration of the Office, necessary measures to ensure that all contracts with a public authority (as defined in Article 1, paragraph 1(c), of the Convention) include clauses guaranteeing that all workers concerned receive wages and conditions of employment not less favourable than those established for work of the same character as required by Article 2, paragraphs 1 and 2. It hopes that the Government will supply information on the steps taken.

[The Government is asked to report in detail for the period ending 30 June 1992.]
