Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1994, published 81st ILC session (1994)

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the following matters raised in its previous direct request:

With reference to the previous comments, the Committee noted the statement by the Government in its previous report that the plan to enact minimum wage legislation for those workers not covered at present by either a collective agreement or a minimum wage order, which was made in the context of the formulation of a Labour Code undertaken with assistance of the ILO, was temporarily stalled by reasons of unavailability of the ILO expert. It also noted the Government's repeated expression of intention to consult all interested organizations when the draft becomes available. The Committee requests the Government to indicate any development in this respect.

In the meantime, the Committee noted the Government's indication that, in respect of every industry in Grenada, there exists arrangements for the regulation of wages through collective agreements. It also noted the excerpts from recent collective agreements as well as the number of workers covered. The Committee requests the Government to continue supplying information on the results of the application of the minimum wage fixing machinery as required by Article 5 of the Convention.
