Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1990, published 77th ILC session (1990)

In one of its earlier reports, the Government stated that there was no existing minimum wage-fixing machinery but that, in the agricultural sector, the minimum wages prescribed under the terms of the 1968 law on agriculture (Agricultural Amenities Act, 1968) was still in force. The Government had added that wage rates had been readjusted by means of collective agreements. The Committee had noted these statements and requested the Government to indicate whether all agricultural workers were covered in this respect by collective agreements.

The Committee notes that, for the second time in succession, the Government has not submitted a report. It hopes that the Government will not fail to communicate a report to be examined at its next session and that this report will contain complete information on the above question, as well as information on the way in which the Convention is applied in practice (including extracts from inspection reports, copies of certain collective agreements containing wage rates, and statistics on the number of workers covered).
