Articles 1(b) and 2(2)(a) of the Convention. Equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value. Legislation. TheCommittee notes the Government’s indication that it took account of the Committee’s request “in the negotiation of texts currently under discussion”. In view of its repeated previous requests, the Committee hopes that the Labour Code (section 61) will be modified in the near future to include the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value and requests the Government to provide information on any progress made in this respect.

Articles 2(2)(c) and 4. Collective agreements. Cooperation with social partners. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that, during the negotiation and elaboration of collective agreements, the Government representative on the committees in question makes certain that all discriminatory provisions, or those contrary to ratified texts, are removed. With regard to promoting the application of the principle of the Convention with the employers’ and workers’ organizations during wage fixing, the Committee notes that the Government is currently examining this point and will communicate the results of its reflection to the Committee. The Committee requests the Government to: (i) intensify its cooperation with the social partners to ensure that collective agreements, including those of the Cameroon Railway Company (CAMRAIL), mentioned in its previous comments, do not contain provisions that are discriminatory on the basis of sex and especially in respect of remuneration; and (ii) to supply extracts of the collective agreements that reflect the principle enshrined in the Convention. It also requests the Government to provide information on any proactive measures and follow-up measures taken to give effect to the principle of equal remuneration during the negotiation of collective agreements, such as, for example, the drafting of a standard clause on equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value.

The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
