The Committee notes the observations of the National Association of Fiscal Employees (ANEF), received on 1 September 2018. The Committee also notes the observations of the Single Central Organization of Workers of Chile (CUT Chile) received on 2 September 2018 and those received on 13 September 2018. The Committee requests the Government to provide its comments in this respect.

Article 1(b) of the Convention. Work of equal value. Legislation. In its previous observation, the Committee noted that various draft laws were currently before the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies aimed at amending section 62 bis of the Labour Code – which requires the employer to comply with the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value – to incorporate the principle of the Convention and ensure equal remuneration for men and women not only in situations in which they perform “the same work”, but also in situations in which they carry out work which is different but nevertheless of equal value, and requested the Government to provide information on any developments in this respect. The Committee notes the Government’s information in its report that a draft law to amend the Labour Code as it pertains to discrimination and equal remuneration between men and women (Bulletin No. 9322-13) is currently undergoing its second constitutional reading in the House of Representatives. The Committee notes that this draft law aims to amend section 62 bis of the Labour Code to expressly set out that “the employer shall comply with the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for the same work or work of equal value”. The Committee trusts that section 62 bis of the Labour Code will be amended shortly and that it will give full effect to the principle of equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value as set out in the Convention and requests the Government to provide information on any developments in that respect.

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