INTERNATIONAL LABOUR CONFERENCE
104th Session (1 – 13 June 2015)
WORKERS’ GROUP
Membership of committees
Each year the ILO holds an International Labour Conference in the month of June, as per the
requirements of its Constitution. The Member States shall be represented by Government (2 delegates),
Workers (1 delegate) and Employers (1 delegate). Furthermore, the Worker delegate can be accompanied
by up to 2 advisers for each item on the agenda of the Conference and the Government should provide for
travel and subsistence expenses.
While the rule is that the most representative organization in the country should designate the
delegate, workers’ organizations are free to determine the composition of their own delegation. In case of
trade union pluralism in the country, unions can adopt – without governmental interference – any free
rotation among themselves.
The Workers’ Group – following the indications of the ILO Constitution (art 3.2) - has requested
national delegations to ensure gender balance, having at least one woman in the delegation as per the target
set by the United Nations of increasing the participation of women in decision and policy-making bodies
(at least 50 per cent). Many workers’ delegations are below the threshold and every effort should be made
to redress this situation.
The Workers’ delegate and advisers have to be nominated in the credentials of member States, prior
to participate in the work of the technical committees of the Conference, as regular members or as deputy
members ( deputy members can take part in a vote only to replace regular members who are absent at the
time of voting).
In case of standard setting discussions over two years (such as the case of the Recommendation on
the Formalization of the Informal Economy), workers’ organizations should strive to maintain the same
person covering the two sessions of the ILC.
In order to facilitate the preparatory steps to establish the composition of the Committees’ Workers’
Groups, trade unions are kindly asked to send preliminary information to the Bureau for Workers’ Activities
(ACTRAV), once tripartite consultations have taken place at national level.
Once the Worker Delegate from the country has been nominated - he/she should fill up the enclosed
form, in consultation with any other representative organizations and should submit it to ACTRAV, in order
to expedite preparations.
Please note that committee membership as indicated in the form will be effective only once:
 the Office has received official credentials from the government accrediting the person concerned as
Workers’ delegate, adviser, or person designated in accordance with article 2(3)(i) of the Standing
Orders of the Conference; and
 the registration request is endorsed by the Workers’ group and the initial committee composition
approved by the Conference.
Please return the registration form by 11 May 2015
to the Bureau for Workers’ Activities (ACTRAV)
