Effective tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report received in June 2009. The Government indicates that the Labour Advisory Board was established pursuant to section 143 of the Employment Act, and serves as an appropriate forum for consultations amongst the social partners. The Labour Advisory Board meets at least once a year and bears, amongst it functions, the role of advising the Minister of Labour of any proposed legislation, rules, codes, guidelines or model agreements relating to dispute prevention and resolution, and in respect of any matter on which advice or recommendations are required or permitted in terms of the Employment Act or any other labour law. The Committee notes with interest the information provided by the Government on the procedures in place to ensure effective consultations on the matters set out in Article 5(1) of the Convention. The Committee invites the Government to give further particulars in its next report on the consultations held on each of the matters set out in Article 5(1) indicating the nature of any reports or recommendations made as a result of the consultations. The Government is also asked to describe any arrangements made for the financing of any necessary training of participants on the consultative procedures.
