Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 1990, Publicación: 77ª reunión CIT (1990)

With reference to its previous observations concerning the arrears and non-payment of wages for workers in certain enterprises, the Committee notes the information supplied by the Government to the Conference Committee in June 1989 and the discussion in that Committee on that subject.

The Committee notes that, as a result of the Government's endeavours and the application of Act No. 17/86, the number of workers who have not received their wages has decreased and that, when the Government supplied this information, they numbered 15,436, and that the number of enterprises owing arrears or which had not paid wages numbered 117.

The Committee hopes that the Government will continue making every effort as necessary to rapidly resolve the problem of arrears and non-payment of wages and that the next report will contain information on further progress achieved in this respect. The Committee recalls that it also addressed a request directly to the Government on other points concerning the application of this Convention and reserves the possibility of re-examining the problem as a whole during its next session on the basis of the information supplied by the Government in its report.
