D) The Right to Paid Leave 303. Tunisian legislation recognizes the right to paid leave for every worker (Articles 112 to 122 and 130 to 133 of the Labour Code). The same right is also recognized for workers in the agricultural sector (Articles 123 to 133 of the Labour Code). It is also to be noted that Tunisia ratified the International Labour Convention in 1957 (n° 52) on paid leave. E) The Right to good Health and to Security in the Workplace 304. Multiple efforts and numerous initiatives have made possible the strengthening of the right of the worker to good health and to security in the work place. They are notably: • Monitoring and inspection visits to verify the conditions of hygiene and work related security in more than 8,900 economic institutions. • Sensitization campaigns and activities for the benefit of the agents of production in 1,164 Businesses in order to make them aware of the need to use proper means of individual protection. • Preparation of information leaflets on the most frequent work-related dangers and the means of self-protection. 305. All individuals are considered as equal between them, their position in relation to the job is, after all, simply a matter of competence and of motivation. 306. In the context of an approach of positive discrimination in favour of salaried women, the Tunisian legislation accords working women specific rights linked to delivery and to maternity, the right to a salary or an allowance, the right to leave for breastfeeding and the obligation for the employers with 50 women employees to set up a special room for breastfeeding (Art. 64 of the Labour Code and Art. 19 of the Decree 68-328 of 22nd October 1968 establishing the general rules of hygiene applicable in the Businesses subjected to the Labour Code). 307. Tunisia has devoted itself to consolidating and reinforcing these achievements, by regularly improving the normative labour provisions, in the context of a global vision guaranteeing the social rights of workers, of broadening their field, social peace and the competitiveness of Businesses. II- Sanctioning the Right to Work 308. During the period covered by this Report, the perspectives of the right to work in Tunisia were reassuring and promising, thanks to the political stability and social peace prevailing in the country, as well as the rapid developments realised in the concretization of the strategy of the promotion of employment, based on the stimulation of economic growth, the modernization of professional training, the improvement of the output of adaptation and integration programmes and the development of small-scale enterprises and independent activities, besides the increase in training opportunities and funding mechanisms. 309. From the concrete point of view, employment remains at the top of the priorities of the political will as a challenge to be confronted for the realization of social equilibrium and to concretize the degree of success of national choices in the area of development. 66
