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

Protection of Wages Convention, 1949 (No. 95) - Greece (Ratification: 1955)

Articles 4 and 7, paragraph 2, of the Convention. With reference to its previous comments, the Committee notes that owing to the political situation in the country since the June 1989 elections, the Government has been unable to take the measures previously announced, which are intended to bring the legislation into conformity with the Convention. It notes that, according to the Government, the questions outstanding have been submitted to the new Government elected in June 1990 for examination with a view to the necessary legislative measures to be taken. The Committee again recalls that since 1958 it has been raising the questions of the payment of wages in kind and the prices charged in stores or services established by the employer, referred to in these Articles of the Convention, and hopes that the Government will take the necessary measures in the near future to harmonise its legislation with the Convention.
