Article 3 of the Convention. Minimum wage-fixing methods and consultation of the social partners. The Committee previously noted the information provided by the Government, in particular on the role of the National Labour, Employment and Social Security Council (CNTESS) in the adjustment of minimum wage rates, and also on the social negotiations in progress with the social partners concerning an increase in the level of the guaranteed inter-occupational minimum wage (SMIG). The Committee also noted the observations received in 2017 from the Free Confederation of Mauritanian Workers (CLTM), according to which the level of the SMIG has not changed since 2011 despite the rise in consumer prices and the Government’s commitment to adjust the SMIG every two years. The Committee notes that the Government indicates once again, in its report, that it monitors the work of the CNTESS on the adjustment of minimum wage rates but without providing any details of the progress or outcome of this work. The Committee once again requests the Government to take all necessary measures to ensure that the minimum wage rate review process gives rise to tangible results and to provide detailed information on this subject, including on the work of the CNTESS in this regard.
