Abstract |
This report was prepared on the basis of the replies received from 63 member states to a questionnaire inviting observations or amendments on the proposed international instruments (a Convention and a Recommendation) submitted as a basis for discussion and possible adoption by the Internaitonal Labour Conference at its 65th Session (Geneva, June 1979). For the first report on this question, submitted to the 64th Session, see CIS 77-1736. In the present report the substance of the Governments' replies to each question are reproduced (including a joint reply from the 9 member states of the EEC), with commentaries on their observations. The texts of the 2 proposed international instruments are appended, covering the following aspects: scope (categories of drivers covered; e.g. taxi, ambulance, urban transport or fire-fighting vehicle drivers may be excluded at the Government's discretion); consultation with employers' and workers' associations; hours of work (definition, normal hours, overtime); maximum period of continuous work; daily spreadover; driving time; daily and weekly rest; exceptions and overtime; supervising measures; means and methods of application. |
