Labour Inspection (Agriculture) 1
Labour Inspection (Agriculture) 1 : ILO Convention No. 129 (1969) applies to agricultural undertakings in which employees or apprentices work, or - subject to a declaration by the ratifying ILO Member State to this effect - tenants, share-croppers and similar categories of agricultural workers, members of a cooperative or of the family of the operator. Its provisions are to a large extent based on those of Convention No. 81 (1947)regarding the organization, the functions and the staff of the system of inspection,as well as the duties, powers and obligations of the inspectors. Convention No. 129 also contains certain innovations that take into account the special characteristics of the agricultural sector and the experiences gained since Convention No. 81 came into force. These innovations take the form of provisions on questions such as the organizational flexibility and structure of the inspection services, the extension to inspectors of advisory or enforcement functions regarding legal provisions relating to conditions of life of workers and their families, the possibility of including in the system of labour inspection officials or representatives of occupational organizations, and of legal bodies, and of entrusting certain inspection functions at the regional or local level to other appropriate government services or public institutions.
