Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2014, published 104th ILC session (2015)

Fee-Charging Employment Agencies Convention (Revised), 1949 (No. 96) - Argentina (Ratification: 1996)

Part III of the Convention. Article 14. Regulation of fee-charging employment agencies. In response to the previous request, the Government reiterates in its 2014 report that, although Decree No. 489/2001 issued regulations under Part III of the Convention, but no violations of the regulations have been recorded and no court decisions on the issue have been reported. The Committee notes the observations of the General Confederation of Labour Argentine Republic (CGT RA) and of the Confederation of Workers of Argentina (CTA), received in September and October 2014, which indicate that in fact there have been countless cases of practices that are contrary to Decree No. 489/2001. The inspection services and the judicial response are unable to prevent or remedy the situation effectively. The two trade unions indicate that there is a lack of statistical data on the action taken by the labour inspection services in this respect. The Committee requests the Government to provide its comments on these observations of the trade union organizations. The Committee once again requests the Government to provide in the report due in 2015, information on the measures taken to monitor the agencies covered by the Convention, in addition to relevant information on the number and nature of the violations reported by the labour inspection services.
