The purpose of this Act is to make general provision for workers' conditions of employment. As defined in the National Charter and the Constitution, a worker is any person living from the product of his work, whether intellectual or manual, and not employing to his advantage other workers for the purposes of his occupational activity. This Act defines the rights enjoyed by workers and the corresponding obligations that they are required to discharge, in either case irrespective of the sector in which they are employed. The participation of workers in the life of an undertaking and the system of management applied in the socialist agricultural sector shall be governed by the laws and regulations currently in force, and more particularly by those relating to the socialist management of undertakings, the Agrarian Revolution and the agricultural self-management scheme. The provisions of this Act shall not apply to self-employed workers. 2. Model conditions of employment for each sector of activity shall be patterned on this Act. They shall be issued by decree. The specific conditions of employment applying to the workers in each undertaking shall be patterned on this Act and the model conditions of employment issued for the particular sector of activity. They shall be issued in regulations after consultation with the trade union authorities. In the private sector the specific conditions of employment to be applied in undertakings shall be laid down by collective agreement within the framework of this Act and the model conditions of employment issued for the sectors of activity to which the undertakings concerned belong. 3. Workers' employment relationships shall be governed by the general provisions made for their conditions of employment, the model conditions of employment issued for the various sectors of activity, the specific conditions of employment applied in undertakings and the generality of the related laws or regulations. 4. Work is the essential factor in the economic, social and cultural development of the nation and the source from which a worker derives his means of subsistence. Algerian society is based on work. It is governed by the principle From each according to his abilities, to each according to his work. 5. It shall be the duty of each worker and each undertaking to give permanent expression through work to the principle From each according to his abilities, as laid down in the National Charter. More specifically- each worker must be employed and conduct himself in such a way as to make the best use of his occupational, physical and intellectual abilities; Copyright © International Labour Organisation 1979 1/1979
