Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2011, published 101st ILC session (2012)

Labour Administration Convention, 1978 (No. 150) - Mexico (Ratification: 1982)

Further to its previous observation, the Committee requests the Government to provide additional information on the following points.

Article 10 of the Convention. Suitably qualified staff for the labour administration system. The Committee notes the information on the application of the Act on Professional Career Service in the Federal Public Administration of 3 April 2003. It notes with interest the information that between 2007 and June 2010, 28,631 competitive exams were sat in the Federal Public Administration of which 15,593 resulted in appointments, 10,722 were unsuccessful and 2,316 were still being processed in September of the same year. It also notes with interest that the percentage of career public servants whose performance appraisals showed outstanding results was very high in 2006 and 2007. Noting that in the subsystem for entry to the service, one of the most important measures taken by the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare prior to July 2009 was the replacement of the management capacities required for labour inspectors with other occupational skills, the Committee requests the Government to provide information on these skills and the manner in which they are assessed.

Part IV of the report form. The Committee asks the Government to provide copies or extracts of periodical reports submitted by the main departments of the labour administration system, together with information on any practical difficulties met in applying the Convention.
