Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2003, published 92nd ILC session (2004)

Hours of Work (Industry) Convention, 1919 (No. 1) - Cuba (Ratification: 1934)

The Committee notes that proposals for new regulations on working hours in the construction industry are under consideration to replace the current system applying to the construction brigades with a working day of up to ten and 12 hours, which was the subject of comments by the Committee for a number of years. The Committee trusts that the new regulations will be adopted in the very near future in line with the provisions of the Convention and requests the Government to inform it on any progress made.

The Committee raises further points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
