V. PROCEEDINGS

The meeting consisted of an inaugural session, three plenary sessions and a closing session, as described below.

A. Inaugural Session

The inaugural session was called to order at 09:30 on July 12, 2001. The Honorable Claudette Bradshaw, Minister of Labor of Canada, who chaired the meeting took the floor and welcomed the representatives of the Ministries of Labor, which included ministers and vice ministers. She also thanked the representatives of OSATE and CEATAL, as well as the representatives of the agencies of the OAS, the IDB, ECLAC, CARICOM, ILO, PAHO and PROALCA/AID, for attending. In her presentation, she highlighted the growing economic integration occurring at both the regional and world levels, and reminded participants that the work of the Ministries was to ensure that the benefits stemming from this process reach all workers. She reiterated the importance of the XII Conference in view of the fact that the Presidents and Prime Ministers at the Quebec Summit had asked the ministers to meet to examine the labor-related dimensions of the Summits of the Americas process, and to strive to garner the greatest support possible from other ministries and key international institutions working in this area. She added that the leaders at Quebec had requested the ministers to address the special needs of small economies, promote the historic declaration of the ILO regarding the fundamental principles and rights at work and to consider the needs of women, the disabled, children and many other groups requiring special attention. She went on to say that the present challenge was to take the earlier commitments of the Viña del Mar Declaration as a basis, and to move from there in the new direction set out in the Plan of Action of the Summit of the Americas. She thanked the OAS, the IDB and the ILO for supporting the work of the Conference, and the Working Groups for the concrete results they had achieved. She underscored the importance of and the need to address labor issues together with representatives of employers and workers, adding that she hoped that this Technical Meeting would approve the draft Declaration and Plan of Action to be considered by the ministers at their upcoming Conference in Ottawa, Canada. This instrument, she affirmed, will help put into practice efforts to address the challenges of globalization and technological change in order to improve the general welfare of workers and their families, pursuant to the guidelines set forth at the Third Summit of the Americas in Quebec.

The Technical Secretariat of the meeting was exercised by the OAS Unit for Social Development and Education.

B. Working Sessions

1. First Session

The first session was held on the morning of July 12, 2001. Under point 1 of the agenda, the Representative of Chile spoke about the progress made to comply with the Viña del Mar Plan of Action. The delegations received copies of the document TRABAJO/RP/doc.3, Report of the Pro Tempore Chair on Progress to Implement the Viña del Mar Declaration and Plan of Action. This document reports both on the progress made and the difficulties encountered in this regard. She noted the growing interrelation between the ministries of labor in the last three years, which had been encouraged by the activities of the Working Groups established at Viña del Mar. She referred to networks as an effective way to achieve results, democratize relations among countries, move toward more decentralized and participatory practices, develop common platforms for operation in labor matters, move forward in conducting assessments on almost all the thematic areas and achieve a clearer vision of the needs of the ministries of labor to facilitate implementation of joint, complementary and coordinated projects to benefit the workers of the region. Other achievements included the follow-up meeting held, as agreed at Viña del Mar, to present interim reports on the progress made, and to establish the commitments for the next Conferences (Ottawa, 2001 and Brazil, 2003). She also referred to several horizontal cooperation projects under way to modernize the ministries of labor. The document contains a detailed table of achievements.

Next, the representatives of Bolivia and Costa Rica reported on the activities of the Working Groups established in October 1998 at Viña del Mar. The delegations received the documents TRABAJO/RP/doc.4, containing the Report of the Chair of Group I: “Globalization of the Economy and its Social and Labor Dimensions,” presented by Bolivia, and TRABAJO/RP/doc.5, "Final Report of the Activities of Working Group II: Modernization of the State and Labor Administration," presented by Costa Rica.

Next, several organizations presented reports on the following issues:

Program on the Elimination of Child Labor (ILO). The ILO representative started by describing the situation of child laborers, an estimated population of 7.6 million between the ages of 10 and 14; the concentration of child labor by sector; conditions and situation in the different occupations; and concluded by stating that this problem severely affects the health, education and maturation rate of boys and girls. He then referred to the causes and constraints affecting the different areas, reported on the priority attached in the countries’ social policies to eradicating this situation, showed what progress had been made in the past decade, and presented the principal guidelines for and the future challenges of child labor in the region.

Inclusion of the Gender Perspective - Inter-American Commission of Women (IACW/OAS). The representative of the IACW referred to the "Inter-American Program to Promote the Rights of Women, Equity and Gender Equality," saying that its objective was to work to include the gender focus in the bodies and agencies of the inter-American system and to encourage member States to formulate policies, program and strategies for promoting the human rights of women and gender equity and equality. She stated that the recommendations she was presenting at this meeting were for the ministers of labor and represented a consensus established with other agencies, including PAHO and ILO. She added that IACW will conduct an evaluation after the next meeting of ministers of labor, and will propose concrete measures for implementing the Plan that is adopted.

Health of the Workers of the Americas (PAHO). The representative of the Pan American Health Organization described health situation of workers in the hemisphere and referred to the PAHO Health Plan for 1999-2002, indicating that its aim is to improve living conditions, occupational health and safety on the job, and the welfare of the working population. Its vision is comprehensive and emphasizes the prevention of disease and occupational accidents, and the promotion and protection of the health of the working class. She reported that agreements had been signed with the ministers of labor in eight Central American countries for implementing the plan in the maquila and the flower sectors. She mentioned other agreements, including the Global Network of Collaborating Centers, which seek to strengthen resources in the areas of human resources training and research as preventive measures in the areas of occupational health, safety, toxicology and occupational epidemiology in the region.

Project to Modernize Labor Administrations in Latin America, Belize, Panama and the Dominican Republic (MATAC/ILO Project). This project is financed by the Kingdom of Spain and Spain's Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, and is executed by the ILO. Its aim is to strengthen and modernize the ministries of labor and to bring them into line with the objectives of the ILO as concerns the promotion of fundamental rights, employment, protection, improvement of working conditions and environment, promotion of social dialogue and strengthening of programs and policies targeting women, migrants and other special groups. The project representative reported on the project’s achievements and said that, according to a recent evaluation of same, it can be used as a pilot experience in the Andean or Southern Cone countries.

Information System on Labor Markets (SISMEL/OAS) The representative of the General Secretariat stated that this project was developed in response to a specific request from the IACML to the OAS, and discussed its origins, the activities carried out, achievements, and proposed a working program for the operation of this information system in the future.

General Considerations on Labor Standards and the Integration Process (ILO) The delegations received document TRABAJO/RTP/doc.6/01. The ILO representative said it was necessary to leave preconceived notions behind in order to be able to respond to the globalization process with social responses, standards, mechanisms and institutions that will orient the process toward the common good and especially to generating "decent" work. The document surveys the progress made vis-à-vis agreements and principles adopted at the international level, and identifies possible areas of consensus related to labor standards that the Heads of State of the Americas requested be examined. Finally he referred to aspects of the social dimension that are not associated with labor standards and concluded that the social dimension of integration processes could no longer be ignored, and that it is important to understand the role that productivity plays in these processes.

Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean. The speaker reported that ECLAC was analyzing the relationship between the social and the labor dimensions and the impact of globalization in the Americas, through a series of different research efforts. One is a project being carried out in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Mexico and Peru, entitled "Growth, employment and equity: the impact of economic reforms in Latin America and the Caribbean," which contained a module on labor markets. The two other projects deal with: a) institutionalization of the gender focus and b) policies for improving vocational education and training in Latin America and the Caribbean. Finally, he indicated that ECLAC would be happy to make these studies available to the ministers of labor.

Relationship between Labor, Education and Social Development (OAS) The representative of the OAS underscored the importance of adopting a global view and of being able to move beyond the compartmentalized visions generally associated with education, labor, poverty, social development and culture, as called for at the Quebec Summit of the Americas. In this connection, she reported that the OAS is conducting comparative analyses, based on United Nations human development indicators, which are revealing common points in the subject areas dealt with by the ministries and the sectors vis-à-vis the preparedness of the labor force, the generation of productive employment, the struggle against poverty, and in general, the improvement of the educational, social development and cultural levels of OAS member States.

2. Second Session

The second session was called to order on July 12, 2001 at 14:45. The session began with the presentation of the draft Ottawa Declaration and Plan of Action. After explaining the working methodology, the Chair opened the floor for discussion. With the draft Declaration under consideration, several delegations expressed their agreement with the general scope of the Declaration and congratulated the Canadian delegation for the document. COSATE and CEATAL made presentations to underscore that, among other things, it was important that the Plan of Action take into account the participation of the labor and business sectors through those two bodies. The working methodology consisted of submitting each paragraph of the draft Declaration to the plenary for discussion; during the session, the changes to the first part of the document suggested and discussed by the delegations were introduced into the Declaration.

3. Third Session

The third session was called to order on July 13 at 09:30. The plenary continued considering the draft Ottawa Declaration and Plan of Action, following the methodology agreed to earlier.

Pursuant to the agenda, the draft Plan of Action of the XII Inter-American Conference of Ministers of Labor was also presented to the consideration of the plenary. The delegations make observations and suggestions, and the relevant changes were included in the Plan of Action of the XII Inter-American Conference of Ministers of Labor. One of these changes consisted of substituting the proposal for holding a conference on the ILO Declaration in 2002, due to its high cost and to the possibility of verifying, through the working groups, the measures taken by the member States to comply with labor standards. The document, with the amendments introduced during the meeting, can be found in Annex 1.

The representative of Mexico stated for the record that her country wished to serve as the site of the next meeting of Working Group I called for in the proposed Plan of Action. Uruguay expressed its interest in participating in one of the working groups. The United States also indicated that it wanted to participate in Group 1. Saint Vincent offered to serve as vice chair of Group II.

4. Fourth Session

The fourth session continued at 15:00. Danielle Vinette, Director of the Secretariat for the XII Inter-American Conference of Ministers of Labor, made a presentation on behalf of Canada, regarding preparations for the October Conference. Information on the Conference, including registration forms, were distributed. Regarding the thematic agenda of the Conference, it was agreed that within the framework of the proposed Declaration and Action Plan the Technical Secretariat of IACML would send out suggested topics so that the ministers could make presentations on their countries’ experience in those areas.

5. Fifth Session

In the fifth session, at 16:45, the draft Declaration and Plan of Action was read for the last time. It was agreed that the delegates have until August 15 to submit comments on matters of style to the draft. Regarding substantive matters still pending, it was agreed that interested countries would continue the dialogue in search of consensus. The Pro Tempore Chair and the Technical Secretariat will work together to send the official version to the delegates.

6. Closing Session

The closing session was called to order on July 13, 2001 at 17:00. Several delegations took the floor to thank the delegations of Canada and Chile for their work in preparing the XII Conference, and to thank the other delegations and the international organizations that participated in the meeting (especially the OAS, IDB and ILO) for their contributions. In his closing remarks, the Chair of the meeting, Undersecretary for Labor and Social Security of Chile, Yerko Ljubetic Godoy, thanked the technical teams and the delegations from the countries for their efforts to successfully conclude the work of the meeting. He also thanked the OAS General Secretariat for its support and reminded the Ministries of their responsibility to continue to promote the importance of these meetings for the benefit of our workers and in search of a better future for our Hemisphere. The meeting was closed thereafter.

ANNEX 1

DRAFT OTTAWA DECLARATION AND PLAN OF ACTION

CONSIDERED AT THE FIFTH SESSION OF THE PREPARATORY TECHNICAL MEETING OF THE XII INTER-AMERICAN CONFERENCE OF MINISTERS OF LABOR

JULY 12-13, 2001, MIAMI, FLORIDA

Final Draft EN 2

7/13/2001 3:55 PM

DRAFT DECLARATION

We, the Ministers participating in the XII Inter-American Conference of Ministers of Labour of the Organization of American States, have met in Ottawa, Canada, October 17 to 19, 2001, to address issues related to globalization which affect employment and labour in the Americas.

We note that this Conference is one of the first ministerial meetings to follow up on the Declaration and Plan of Action of the Third Summit of the Americas held in Quebec City, Canada, in April 2001. The Heads of State and Government have charged us to address the labour and employment dimensions of the Summit process.

Our deliberations are taking place within the goals set out in the Declaration agreed to at the Third Summit of the Americas. We recall the commitment of hemispheric leaders to pursue a coherent Plan of Action aimed at improving the political, economic and social well-being of the citizens of the Americas. It is with this broad vision of our hemispheric context that we have met to contribute to the further development of a socially just, economically prosperous community of the Americas in which citizens are able to achieve their full human potential.

We are building upon the Declaration of the XI Inter-American Conference of Ministers of Labour held in Viña del Mar, Chile in October 1998. We have also taken into account the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) 1998 Declaration of Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and its Follow-Up.

We recognize the important progress achieved by the working groups established by the XI Inter-American Conference of Ministers of Labour which have provided an understanding of existing and emerging issues related to the labour and social dimensions of economic integration, and addressed the challenges related to the modernization of labour ministries. The Working Group on Modernization of the State and Labour Administration reached an important consensus in areas for technical cooperation and assistance.

The substantial efforts being made in sub-regional groupings of nations to address the labour dimensions of economic integration have been extensively studied and reported by the Working Group on Globalization of the Economy and its Social and Labour Dimensions. We believe that this and other progress in pursuing the Plan of Action of the XI Conference has provided the necessary foundation for actions that we are now undertaking.

We agree that it is fundamentally important that the economy and business benefit the whole population and that we apply the ILO concept of “decent work” for the well-being of our citizens. We agree to promote and respect the basic rights of workers in accordance with what has been established in the ILO’s Declaration of Fundamental Principles and Rights and its Follow -Up.

We will strive to improve working conditions for people in all countries of the region, with special attention to those in the informal sector, people belonging to ethnic and religious minorities, and other persons with different experiences and needs including women, youth, older workers, indigenous people, migrant workers, persons with disabilities and persons with HIV/AIDS. We will seek to ensure that workers in the informal sector of the economy have access to social protections and security in such a way that they may better contribute to the general welfare of society. We recognize the importance of investing in human resource development, of promoting employment security consistent with economic growth, of developing mechanisms to assist workers with periods of unemployment, and of strengthening cooperation and social dialogue on labour matters among workers, unions and worker representatives, employers, and governments.

(Proposed by Mexico/CEATAL) We recognize the importance of taking action to create employment as an effective means of combating poverty.

[We shall pay special attention to the situation of migrant workers and their families so as to guarantee their labour rights and provide them with social protections, including access to education, free from all discriminatory practices and under the safeguard of timely and effective legal protection.]

[Bearing in mind that the Quebec Declaration affirms that “free trade, without subsidies or unfair practices…will permit improvement in labor conditions of the peoples of the Americas…”

We recognize that remedying distortions in the international trade system in the agricultural sector could reduce poverty and contribute to increase employment, higher wages and better working conditions.]

We will examine the labour dimensions of the Summit of the Americas process in order to identify areas of agreement and issues where further work needs to be done, and in particular, we will create a process for improved collaboration and coordination on these matters with other appropriate ministries. We will also promote improved cooperation with key international institutions within the Americas that have a critical role to play in the improvement of labour conditions, including the ILO, the Organization of American States (OAS), the Economic Commission of Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and the World Bank.

(Proposed by Mexico: We will work towards the implementation of legislation and policies and promote the respect of We will adopt and implement legislation and policies that provide for the effective application of) core labour standards as recognized in the ILO Declaration of Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work and its Follow-Up, and we call upon the ILO to increase assistance to member states in order to attain these objectives. We will also promote the ratification of fundamental conventions of this organization. We note with satisfaction the ratification by many states in the Americas of a wide range conventions and encourage continued support of that organization’s standards.

We will develop new mechanisms to increase the effectiveness of projects and other technical assistance designed to build the capacity of smaller economies and their institutions, to effectively implement labour laws and standards and to foster equality of opportunity with respect to gender, among others, in strategies to promote employment, training, life-long learning and human resource development programs, with the objective of promoting full and equal access to more and better employment.

We will strengthen the capacity of ministries of labour to develop and implement effective labour and labour market policies. We will collaborate with employer and worker organizations to develop and generate information on labour markets and will foster tripartite consultations to address labour and workplace issues. We will support alternative dispute resolution mechanisms and adopt effective strategies to respond to the training needs of workers.

We acknowledge the need to continue to improve methods and procedures for the development, compilation and analysis of labour information in order to strengthen the participation of the Ministries of Labour in government decision-making.

We will continue to work towards the elimination of child labour and, as a priority, will promote hemisphere-wide ratification and implementation of the ILO Convention No. 182 against the Worst Forms of Child Labour, 1999. We will work to bring all national laws, regulations and policies into conformity with this convention and will take immediate action to eliminate the worst forms of child labour.

We are committed to integrate a gender perspective into the development and implementation of all labour policies, to promote work-life balance, to protect the rights of women workers, and to take action to remove structural and legal barriers, as well as stereotypical attitudes to gender equality at work; to address gender bias in recruitment, working conditions, occupational segregation and harassment, discrimination in social protection benefits, women’s occupational health and safety, unequal career opportunities and pay.

(Proposed by Chile) We recognize the importance of the effects that aging has and will have on the global population, particularly in our region, and we emphasize the need for social protections and policies that enable an active, productive and healthy aging process.

As expressed by our Heads of State and Government, we welcome and value the contributions of civil society, including business and labour organizations (proposed by Mexico/CEATAL) and in particular those of COSATE and CEATAL. We affirm that openness and transparency are vital to building public awareness and legitimacy for our undertakings. We call upon all citizens of the Americas to contribute to our work, and look forward to cooperating with the non-government sector.

We resolve to:

a) Develop and implement a Plan of Action based upon this Declaration and the Declaration and Plan of Action of the Third Summit of the Americas; build on the work of the XI Inter-American Conference of Ministers of Labour; and dedicate the necessary resources to this end.

b) Establish two working groups: One will examine the labour dimensions of the Summit of the Americas process, including the questions of globalization related to employment and labour, to identify areas of agreement and issues where further work needs to be done, and to create a process for improved collaboration and cooperation on these labour dimensions with other government ministries. The other will continue to focus on building the capacity of labour ministries and their institutions to effectively implement labour laws.

c) Establish an Action Plan Implementation Committee which will work to improve collaboration and coordination with key international institutions in the hemisphere that have a critical role to play in the improvement of labour conditions, in particular the OAS, PAHO, the ILO, and ECLAC, as well as the IDB and the World Bank.

d) Hold the XIII Inter-American Conference of Ministers of Labour in the Federative Republic of Brazil in 2003.

PLAN OF ACTION

We, the Ministers of Labour, meeting in Ottawa, Canada, October 17 to 19, 2001, on the occasion of the XII Inter-American Conference of Ministers of Labour of the Organization of American States, are committed to carry out the following Plan of Action:

A. ACTION PLAN IMPLEMENTATION

The Action Plan Implementation Committee will be presided by the Chair pro tempore (Canada) with the assistance of the past Chair (Chile) and the future Chair (Brazil) of the Conference of Labour Ministers and the host country of the Fourth Summit of the Americas (Argentina), and will be composed of any interested labor ministry with the participation of COSATE and CEATAL, and representatives of the OAS, the IDB, the ILO, the OPS, the World Bank and CEPAL. It will be responsible for promoting the implementation of the Plan of Action and for improving collaboration and coordination with key international institutions.

B. ACTION PLAN IMPLEMENTATION – FUNDING

Member states shall devote the necessary and available economic and/or technical resources to enable the implementation of the Action Plan. Furthermore, the Action Plan Implementation Committee will call upon member states and relevant international organizations to make voluntary contributions intended to offer support for specific activities and projects under this plan, and to facilitate the participation of COSATE and CEATAL.

C. PROMOTION OF THE ILO DECLARATION

Working Group 2 shall work with the ILO to develop means to promote public awareness of the Declaration of Fundamental Principles and Rights at work and its follow-up to promote business and labour initiatives linked to the respect of these rights. Working Group 2, together with the ILO, will also address challenges that member states are facing in pursuing these objectives, and the ways in which these challenges can be addressed through technical assistance. Working Group 2 shall also promote Convention 182 against the Worst Form of Child Labour and other conventions. Member states call upon the Director General of the ILO to insure these issues are properly addressed in its next Regional Conference of the Americas to be held in 2003.

The Committee will liaise with the ILO to discuss ways the latter could ensure support to member states to the adoption and implementation of legislation and policies as set out at the ILO Declaration of Principles and Rights at Work and its follow-up.

TECHNICAL WORKSHOPS

The Action Plan Implementation Chair will schedule technical workshops to review means for improving the working conditions of female and male workers, paying particular attention to those with specific needs as set out in this Declaration, and for promoting human resources development initiatives, employment and income security and labour information systems. It will seek partnerships with relevant international agencies, other government departments and civil society representatives in the organization of these workshops.

The Chair will schedule a workshop to address the challenges facing labour ministries, including new employment relationships, the digital divide and the technological capacity of member states.

The Chair will set the schedule for these workshops prior to June 2002.

WORKING GROUPS

We agree to form two working groups with the following terms of reference:

WORKING GROUP 1: LABOUR DIMENSIONS OF THE SUMMIT OF THE AMERICAS PROCESS

This working group will examine the labour dimensions of the Summit of the Americas process, including labor and employment globalization issues, to identify areas of agreement and issues where further work needs to be done, and will prepare a report containing recommendations for consideration at the XIII Conference.

The working group will build upon the results of the Working Group on Globalization of the Economy and its Social and Labour Dimensions created under the Viña del Mar Declaration. It will examine the implications of the ILO report “Labour Standards and the Integration Process in the Americas” and consider discussion papers from member states.

The group will create a process for improved collaboration and coordination on the labour dimensions of the Summit of the Americas process between Labour Ministries and other appropriate ministries and key international institutions within the Americas that have a critical role to play in the improvement of labour conditions, in particular the OAS, the ILO, ECLAC, as well as the IDB and the World Bank. COSATE and CEATAL shall be members of this working group.

WORKING GROUP 2: BUILDING CAPACITY OF LABOUR MINISTRIES

This working group, which in addition to the member countries shall include the OAS, the ILO, the ECLAC, as well as the IDB, the World Bank, COSATE and CEATAL, will continue the work of the Working Group on Modernization of the State and Labour Administration. In particular, it will develop new mechanisms to increase the effectiveness of projects and technical assistance to build the capacity of smaller economies and their institutions, and will cooperate with other inter-governmental committees within the Summit of the Americas process responsible for addressing the special needs of these economies.

The working group will focus on the most effective means to implement labour laws and standards and to foster equality of opportunity as well as strategies to promote employment, training, life-long learning and human resource development, and access to more and better employment, as well as to guarantee full compliance with the rights that the national legislations ensure migrant workers.

The working group will build on regional and sub-regional initiatives and prepare a report on how best practices could be promoted in the Hemisphere. The findings will be presented to the Conference of Labour Ministers.

WORKING GROUP IMPLEMENTATION GUIDELINES

Working groups will be coordinated by a chair and vice-chair who shall be Ministers we have elected at this Conference and supported by the OAS Technical Secretariat. The Ministers may perform their functions directly or through representatives.

The working groups will prepare their respective programs of activities, which shall include scheduled meetings as well as any necessary studies. In carrying out these activities, the chairs and vice-chairs may request support of the Action Plan Implementation Chair.

Each working group will strive to hold its first meeting before the end of 2002.
