Artikel 2

1. For the purpose of this Convention, the term “the workers concerned” means workers employed within establishments to which the Convention applies pursuant to the provisions of Article 1, irrespective of the nature and duration of their employment relationship. However, each Member may, in the light of national law, conditions and practice and after consulting the employers' and workers' organisations concerned, exclude certain particular categories of workers from the application of all or some of the provisions of this Convention.
2. Each Member which ratifies this Convention shall list, in the first report on the application of the Convention submitted under article 22 of the Constitution of the International Labour Organisation, any categories of workers which may have been excluded in pursuance of paragraph 1 above, giving the reasons for such exclusion, and shall indicate in subsequent reports any progress towards wider application.
