International Congress “Labour Inspection in the path of change:
focusing its mission towards economic development and social peace in time of crisis |
 |
Dear Sir/ Madam,
The Authority for Working Conditions of Portugal (ACT) and the International Association of Labour Inspection (IALI) will promote in Lisbon, on the 16th and 17th April 2009, an international congress on “Labour Inspection in the path of change: focusing its mission towards economic development and social peace in time of crisis”.
This congress, in which the representatives of several countries and international organisations concerned with labour will participate, is expected to be an excellent forum to exchange information and experiences as well as to debate the kind of problems related with the role of Labour Inspection and the necessary strategies to overcome them in time of crisis.
Considering the opportunities and threats that such a pronounced world crisis like this one can represent to Labour Inspection, it is realy necessary to find out if it should maintain its traditional approach to questions related to working conditions or should it change it dynamically, searching to surpass eventual challenges that may come up in time of crisis.
The meeting in question will also represent the opportunity to approach this world economic crisis, considering it as a challenge and a test for the Labour Inspection capacity as far as its mission is concerned, according to ILO Conventions 81 and 129.
So, let me welcome you to this Lisbon Congress in April, where it will be a pleasure for us to meet you.
Inspector General for Labour
Paulo Morgado de Carvalho |
