Repetition The Committee notes that in the context of the revision of the national labour legislation, the Government has requested technical assistance from the Office and, in particular that a draft Labour Act has been submitted for comments. The draft Labour Act is intended to consolidate and revise various pieces of legislation, including the Regulation of Wages and Industrial Relations Act (1971). While noting with deep concern that the Government’s reports on the application of Conventions Nos 26 (minimum wage) and 95 (protection of wages) have not been received, the Committee hopes that progress will be made towards the adoption of the new legislation in the near future and that the Government will take full advantage of the technical assistance received from the Office so as to ensure that the new Act will be in conformity with ratified Conventions. The Committee expects that the next reports will contain full information in this respect.
Repetition Articles 1–4 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.
