Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1991, published 78th ILC session (1991)

Minimum Wage Fixing Machinery (Agriculture) Convention, 1951 (No. 99) - Grenada (Ratification: 1979)

With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes the Government's statement that the Minimum Wage Order adopted in 1968 is no longer observed, and that in practice minimum wage-fixing in agriculture is done periodically through agreement reached between the Ministry of Agriculture, Grenada Farms' Corporation and the Grenada Bank and General Workers' Union. It notes that the Government envisages that the draft Labour Code will codify this practice when enacted. The Committee hopes that the Government will be able to indicate in the near future that the draft Labour Code has been adopted and requests the Government to send a copy of the text adopted.

The Committee hopes that the Government will not fail to communicate with its next report information on the way in which the Convention is applied in practice (including extracts from inspection reports, copies of certain collective agreements containing wages rates, and statistics on the number of workers covered).
