Demande directe (CEACR) - adoptée 2007, publiée 97ème session CIT (2008)

Articles 2 and 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee takes note of the Government’s report for the period ending on 1 September 2007. In response to the previous direct request, the Government states that, although the committee on international labour standards reporting to the National Labour Council has not as yet been set up, this has in no way affected tripartite consultations on the issues relating to the subjects listed at Article 5, paragraph 1(a), (b) and (c). The Government indicates that it is contemplating ratification of the Collective Bargaining Convention, 1981 (No. 154), and that this is an item on the agenda of the National Labour Council’s last meeting for 2007. The Committee trusts that the Government will be in a position to inform the Committee in its next report that effective procedures for consultations on international labour standards have actually been set up. It requests the Government to provide information on any developments relating to Convention No. 154 and to provide up to date information in its next report on the tripartite consultations held on each of the subjects listed at Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention, indicating their frequency and the nature of any reports or recommendations made as a result of the consultations.
