Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2006, published 96th ILC session (2007)

Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129) - Costa Rica (Ratification: 1972)

The Committee takes note of the Government’s report for the period ending 31 May 2006 and the attached copy of judgements of 2003 imposing financial penalties for violation of the labour legislation. It also takes note of the comments formulated by the Confederation of Workers Rerum Nevorum (CTRN) and the Trade Union of Civil Servants of the Social Security and Labour Ministry (AFUMITRA), as well as the documents attached received by the ILO on 18 January 2005 and transmitted to the Government on 2 March 2005. The Committee notes the Government’s reply to these comments and the documents attached, received by the ILO on 19 July 2005.

Since the comments from the unions concern to the same extent both this Convention and Convention No. 81, the Committee draws the Government’s attention to its observation under Convention No. 81 and would be grateful if the Government  would communicate any comments it may deem appropriate on the issues raised, as far as they concern labour inspection in agricultural undertakings.
