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

Minimum Wage-Fixing Machinery Convention, 1928 (No. 26) - Belize (Ratification: 1983)

The Committee notes from the information provided by the Government that it has recently set up a National Wages Council for the purpose of establishing minimum wages for manual workers not covered by the previously established minimum wages for shop assistants and domestic workers. The Committee requests the Government to continue providing information on this subject.

The Committee recalls that in its previous direct request it expressed the hope that the Government would provide information on the number of workers covered by the minimum wage-fixing machinery as required in Article 5 of the Convention. The Committee hopes that the Government will take the necessary measures to provide this information in its next report.
