DISPLAYINEnglish - French - SpanishAlle anzeigen

The Committee notes from the Government's report that minimum wages in shops are established through tripartite wages councils under the Wages Council Act. The Government, however, gives no information on the wage-fixing machinery applied when establishing minimum wages in the sugar industry and in domestic employment.

The Committee requests the Government to supply details of the minimum wage fixing machinery employed in these trades, particularly of the compulsory consultations with representatives of the employers and workers concerned, and of the manner in which they are associated in the operation of the machinery (Article 3, paragraph 2, of the Convention).
