Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2010, Publicación: 100ª reunión CIT (2011)

Convenio sobre la inspección del trabajo (agricultura), 1969 (núm. 129) - Madagascar (Ratificación : 1971)

The Committee notes the Government’s report received on 5 November 2009. It draws the Government’s attention to its observation under the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81), in which it refers to the comments of the Autonomous Trade Union of Labour Inspectors (SAIT), received by the ILO on 2 February 2010 and sent to the Government on 5 April 2010. These comments, accompanied by supporting documents, mainly concern the worsening conditions of service and work of labour inspectors and controllers and the action taken by the Government against a number of labour inspectors and controllers in response to their participation in industrial action aimed at obtaining conditions of service and work in line with the provisions of the two ratified international Conventions on labour inspection. Given that the comments of the SAIT concern matters affecting all labour inspectors and controllers, including those performing their duties in agricultural enterprises, the Committee urges the Government to provide information in its next report in reply to the points raised in its observation under Convention No. 81 concerning the application of the provisions of Articles 8 and 15 of this Convention.

The Committee is raising other points in a request addressed directly to the Government.
