The National Administrative Offices

The NAALC requires each government to maintain a National Administrative Office (NAO) within its labor ministry. The NAOs serve as points of contact and sources of information among themselves, with other government agencies, the Secretariat and the public. Another NAO function is to receive and respond to public communications regarding labor law matters arising in another NAALC country. Each NAO establishes its own domestic procedures for reviewing public communications and deciding what action to take in response.

With the support of the Secretariat, the NAOs initiate the cooperative activities of the Commission, including seminars, conferences, joint research projects and technical assistance in relation to the eleven Labor Principles of the NAALC, as well as to labor statistics, productivity and related matters.

Following are the addresses of the three National Administrative Offices:
