Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 1990, publiée 77ème session CIT (1990)

1. The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in its report in reply to its previous comments and notes with interest that the organisations of employers and workers (respectively "associates" and "producers") participated actively in the formulation of the Wages Act (No. 15 of 1981). The Committee also notes that the Government is planning to amend certain sections of this Act and of the regulations issued under the Labour Code, and that these texts are currently the subject of discussions between the authorities and the organisations concerned. The Committee requests the Government to supply copies of these new texts when they are adopted.

2. The Committee notes, however, that the Government has not supplied the requested information concerning the machinery for determining the minimum wages that are applicable to all categories of workers and the elements to be taken into consideration in determining the level of minimum wages that are applicable to these workers, as set out in Article 3 of the Convention. The Committee hopes that the Government will not fail to supply this information.

3. The Committee also requests the Government to indicate whether the machinery for determining minimum wages also provides for them to be adjusted from time to time and whether the occupational organisations concerned are also able to participate in the application of the above machinery, in accordance with Article 4.
