Article 3 of the Convention. Choice of workers’ representatives. The Committee notes the Government’s report dated July 2011 including information in response to its 2009 observation. The Government indicates that the Labour Advisory Body (LAB) aims to ensure effective tripartite consultation according to the most appropriate methods for the local circumstances of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR). The Government also recalls the notification of application with modification registered by the ILO on July 1997, regarding the application of Article 3 of the Convention, which states: employers and workers are represented by six members on each side on the LAB. Five of the employers’ representatives are freely nominated by their respective associations and five workers’ representatives are elected on a biannual basis by workers’ trade unions in a secret ballot. The remaining members are direct appointees of the Chief Executive. The Government further indicates in its report that all registered employees’ unions are allowed to participate in LAB and free to elect their representatives in accordance with transparent and well-tested methods that are deemed the most widely representative of the various workers’ views.

Article 5. Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. In reply to the Committee’s previous comments, the Government indicates that the Committee on the Implementation of International Labour Standards (CIILS) was consulted on the subjects listed in Article 5 and has duly replied to the comments made by the Committee of Experts. The Committee also notes that a tripartite team including representatives of the CIILS and the LAB was set up to attend the 98th and 99th Sessions of the Conference. The Committee requests the Government to provide up-to-date information on the activities of both the CIILS and the LAB on the matters concerning international labour standards as well as examples on the manner in which Article 5 is being implemented.
