The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It expresses deep concern in this respect. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.
Repetition
Articles 1 to 4 of the Convention. Minimum wage-fixing machinery. The Committee notes that, in its last report, the Government indicated that the draft labour legislation, once it is finally adopted, would clearly spell out the principles of minimum wage fixing in accordance with the requirements of the Convention. It also indicated that the Joint National Board, which comprises representatives of the social partners, had been set up to formulate a wages and income policy, while at present the various trade group councils were empowered to negotiate wages for unionized workers and to implement trade group agreements. The Committee requests the Government to provide additional information, including copies of any relevant legal texts, on the composition, mandate and functioning of the Joint National Board, especially as regards the method of determining or readjusting minimum wage levels. In addition, the Committee would be grateful if the Government could provide more detailed information on the activities of the trade group councils and transmit copies of any trade group agreements which may be currently in force and contain minimum wage rates for specific sectors of economic activity or groups of workers.
The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
