Geneva, 28 giugno 1939



The General Conference of the International Labour Organisation,

Having been convened at Geneva by the Governing Body of the International Labour Office, and having met in its Twenty-fifth Session on 8 June 1939, and
Having decided upon the adoption of certain proposals with regard to the methods of regulating hours of work in road transport, which is included in the fourth item on the agenda of the Session, and
Having determined that these proposals shall take the form of a Recommendation,
adopts this twenty-eighth day of June of the year one thousand nine hundred thirty-nine, the following Recommendation, which may be cited as the Methods of Regulating Hours (Road Transport) Recommendation, 1939:
Whereas in many countries the system of collective negotiation has proved of great value in the regulation of conditions of work;
Whereas this system is also to some extent applied as regards the regulation of hours of work in road transport and has worked well in this connection;

The Conference recommends that:
Each Member of the International Labour Organisation, in taking such measures as may be necessary to promote the effective regulation of the weekly and daily hours of persons to whom the Hours of Work and Rest Periods (Road Transport) Convention, 1939, applies, should consider the following methods:
(a) the active encouragement of voluntary joint collective machinery established by agreement between the employers' and workers' organisations concerned; or, failing this,
(b) the establishment of statutory machinery operated in consultation with such organisations.


The General Conference of the International Labour Organization, Having been convened in Geneva by the Governing Body of the International Labour Office, and having met in its 90th Session on 3 June 2002, and Following consideration of the proposal for the withdrawal of several international labour Recommendations, which is the seventh item on the agenda of this session, decides this day of June of the year two thousand and two to withdraw the Methods of Regulating Hours (Road Transport) Recommendation, 1939 (No. 65). The Director-General of the International Labour Office shall notify all Members of the International Labour Organization, as well as the Secretary-General of the United Nations, of this decision to withdraw the instrument. The English and French versions of the text of this decision are equally authoritative.
