With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government's indication in its report that the rates of the minimum wage (SMIG) and of minimum wages for each occupational category have not been adjusted since 1980. The Committee wishes to point out to the Government that every member State ratifying this Convention is required to adjust minimum wages from time to time, in accordance with Article 4, paragraph 1, of the Convention. The Committee asks the Government to indicate whether representatives of organizations of employers and workers were consulted in accordance with Article 4, paragraph 3, concerning the decision not to adjust minimum wages.
