Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2005, Publicación: 95ª reunión CIT (2006)

The Committee notes the observations of the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU) dated 6 September 2005, concerning the application of the Convention. In its comments, the ICFTU alleges that the decision of the Minimum Wage Council (MWC) of 29 June 2005 on the new minimum wage was taken in formal and material breach of the Minimum Wage Act and considers that the Government has failed to ensure conditions of real consultations and equitable representation of workers’ and employers’ interests in the operation of the minimum wage-fixing machinery. The Committee asks the Government to transmit its reply to the ICFTU’s comments so that it may examine these points at its next meeting.
