Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

Workers' Representatives Convention, 1971 (No. 135) - Jordan (Ratification: 1979)

The Committee notes that for the second year in succession 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 recalls that it has been requesting the Government since 1983 to supply information on the measures taken to give effect to Article 2 of the Convention concerning the facilities to be afforded to workers' representatives in the undertaking in order to enable them to carry out their functions promptly and efficiently.

The Committee notes that the Government has been reporting since 1982 the forthcoming adoption of a new Labour Code to give effect to the provisions of the Convention, but that no legislative provisions, regulations or agreements appear to have been adopted to give effect to Article 2. The Committee is therefore bound to reiterate its previous comments requesting the Government to adopt in the near future legislative or other measures in order to enable workers' representatives to carry out their functions promptly and efficiently in the light of the examples set out in Recommendation No. 143 (such as: granting them time off to carry out their functions, attend meetings, follow training courses, be present at seminars, conferences and congresses; and by giving them access to all workplaces and to the management, as well as facilities to collect trade union dues and display notices) and to inform it in its next report of any progress achieved in this respect.

[The Government is asked to report in detail for the period ending 30 June 1993.]
