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

Labour Clauses (Public Contracts) Convention, 1949 (No. 94) - Suriname (Ratification: 1976)

The Committee noted previously the Government's statement that a proposal to extend the General Regulations to public contracts other than those for public works would be presented to the Ministry responsible for public works. As the most recent report contains no information on this point, the Committee again expresses the hope that the Government will be able to indicate in its next report that measures have been taken to ensure the application of the Convention to all the kinds of public contracts covered by Article 1 (1)(c) of the Convention.

In addition, the Committee noted from the Government's previous report that in 1986 the Minister of Labour had asked the tripartite Labour Advisory Board for advice on the adoption of legislation with respect to the possibility of extending certain minimum provisions of collective labour agreements to a comparable economic branch, sector or category of undertakings. The Government's most recent report states that the Labour Advisory Board has not yet advised the Minister. The Committee hopes that the Government will take the necessary measures to obtain the Board's advice and to implement the Convention more fully.
