Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100) - United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (RATIFICATION: 1971)

DISPLAYINEnglish - French - SpanishAlle anzeigen

The Committee takes note of the comments of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) dated 13 January 1993 concerning the application of the Convention, which have been transmitted to the Government. The Committee hopes that the Government will provide its comments on this communication so that the Committee will be in a position to examine the points raised at its next session.

It notes at the same time that earlier TUC comments, dated December 1991, are still awaiting a reply from the Government and that the outstanding observation on the application of this Convention, for which a government report will be requested for examination at the Committee's 1994 Session, concerned the following points: equal remuneration in the state pension scheme and occupational pension schemes and harmonization of pensionable ages; what government measures have been taken to respond to the proposals of the Equal Opportunities Commission (EOC) following its review of the Equal Pay Act of 1970; and statistical data illustrating current trends in the evolution of wage differentials between male and female earnings.
