Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

Minimum Wage-Fixing Machinery Convention, 1928 (No. 26) - Bahamas (Ratification: 1976)

The Committee notes that the Government's report received in January 1992 contains no reply to its comments. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the following matters raised in its previous direct request:

Articles 2 and 3, paragraph 1, of the Convention. The Committee noted that no minimum wage council had been activated. The Committee requests the Government again to indicate what consultations have taken place with the employers' and workers' organizations concerned in accordance with the requirements of these provisions of the Convention, and to supply information on the progress in activating the proposed minimum wage council.

Article 5. The Committee, noting that minimum wages are fixed by collective bargaining agreements, asks the Government to supply information concerning the application of the Convention in practice as is required by this Article.
