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

See under Convention No. 26, as follows:

The Committee notes with regret that the Government's report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observations which read as follows:

With reference to the comments of the Mauritius Labour Congress (MLC) on the application of the Convention, the Committee noted with interest the information supplied by the Government to the Conference Committee in 1985. It noted in particular that before the reconstitution of the National Remuneration Board, the Minister invited the five principal federations including the MLC for consultations in accordance with the law but the MLC decided not to come to the joint meeting with other workers' organisations on that particular day and met the Minister on the following day. It also notes that the composition of the Board now includes one workers' representative and one employers' representative, who were those persons proposed by one trade union federation and by the employers' federation. In this connection, the Committee noted that the Government is considering measures to give statutory effect to the Convention's requirements as regards equal representation of employers' and workers' organisations on the Board. The Committee hoped that the Government will be able to indicate what progress has been achieved with a view to bringing the legislation into conformity with the Convention on this point.

TEXT

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future and that it will communicate information on the progress achieved to this effect.
