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

Articles 8 and 12 of the Convention. Deductions from wages and payment of wages at regular intervals. The Committee has been commenting for a certain number of years on the provision of the Labour Code permitting wage deductions on the basis of individual agreement and also on difficulties experienced in the public sector concerning the timely payment of wages. The Committee requests the Government to provide up to date information on both issues, in the light of the provisions of the Labour Code (Act No. 133/AN/05/5èmeL).

Moreover, the Committee notes the communication of the General Union of Djibouti Workers (UGTD) received on 23 August 2007 concerning the application of the Convention. The UGTD states that whereas Chapter IV of the Labour Code, in particular section 152, provides for the protection of wages in the strict sense of the word, the absence of wage guarantees such as the guaranteed minimum inter-occupational wage (SMIG), which was abolished in September 1997, has deprived the workforce of real income protection. The Committee requests the Government to transmit any comments it may wish to make in reply to the observations of the UGTD.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
