Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2014, Publicación: 104ª reunión CIT (2015)

Convenio sobre el trabajo portuario, 1973 (núm. 137) - Noruega (Ratificación : 1974)

The Committee notes the observations made by the Confederation of Norwegian Business and Industry (NHO), received in May 2014, indicating that preference rights in Article 3 of the Convention were not intended to establish or facilitate a monopoly arrangement for performing dock work for a single operator or company. The NHO adds that the manner in which registered dockworkers have been counted is not correct as only the loading and unloading workers affiliated with the Norwegian Transport Workers’ Federation and Norwegian Confederation of Trade Unions (LO) have been defined as “registered dockworkers”. The Committee invites the Government to provide any comments that it deems appropriate on the observations made by the NHO.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2015.]
