Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s report received in October 2010. The Government indicates that the Labour, Economic and Social Council (LESCO) discussed and deliberated various agenda items which included wage rates, the appointment of the assessors of the Labour Court, the National Employment Bill and the implementation of the National Employment Creation Programme. The Government also recognizes that nothing has been done with regard to the tripartite consultations on the matters covered by Article 5(1) of the Convention. The Committee notes that issues relevant to the Convention will be included in the LESCO and Zanzibar Labour Advisory Board consultations and that progress made in this regard will be communicated accordingly. The Committee invites the Government to provide in its next report particulars of the consultations held on each of the matters set out in Article 5(1) of the Convention. It also requests the Government to include information as to the frequency of such consultations and to indicate the nature of any reports or recommendations made as a result of the consultations held by LESCO and the Zanzibar Labour Advisory Board.
Financing of training. The Committee notes that, due to financial constraints, the plan to train members of LESCO on social dialogue and negotiation skills was not implemented accordingly. A two-day technical workshop on raising awareness on freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining was held with financial and technical assistance from the ILO–USDOL project on improving labour law compliance in the United Republic of Tanzania. The workshop was open to members of LESCO and to those of the Zanzibar Labour Advisory Board. The Committee invites the Government to continue to provide information on any arrangements made to finance the training of LESCO and Zanzibar Labour Advisory Board members on the consultative procedures set forth by the Convention (Article 4(2)).
