Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2004, published 93rd ILC session (2005)

Weekly Rest (Commerce and Offices) Convention, 1957 (No. 106) - Haiti (Ratification: 1958)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation, which read as follows:

Article 6 of the Convention. See the comments under Convention No. 14.

The Committee, furthermore, notes an observation of the "Haitian Trade Union Coordination" (Coordination Syndicale Haïtienne - CSH) pointing to the continuing discrepancy between the national legislation and the requirements of Article 6 of the Convention, while acknowledging that in practice weekly rest of at least 24 hours is granted to workers. The Committee hopes that the Government will be able to correct this error in the near future and requests to be kept informed of any progress made.

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