Article 3 of the Convention. With reference to the previous comments, the Committee notes the Government's indication in its report that the committee entrusted to review the Act on the wage tribunals made recommendations so as to ensure that employers' and workers' representatives are associated in the operation of the tribunals in equal numbers and on equal terms.
