Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1997, published 86th ILC session (1998)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the following matters raised in its previous direct request:

The Committee hopes that the Government will supply information on the results of the application of the minimum wage fixing machinery including, inter alia, the approximate number of workers covered, the minimum rates of wages fixed, and the more important of the other conditions, if any, relevant to the minimum rates as required by Article 5 of the Convention. The Committee also requests the Government to indicate any measures taken for the extension of the minimum wage fixing machinery to industries other than the cheroot and cigar rolling industry and the rice milling industry.
