Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1994, published 81st ILC session (1994)

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

The Committee notes that the Government's report has not been received. 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:

The Committee noted the Government's statement that the Minimum Wage Order adopted in 1968 was no longer observed, and that in practice minimum wage-fixing in agriculture was done periodically through agreement reached between the Ministry of Agriculture, Grenada Farms' Corporation and the Grenada Bank and General Workers' Union. It noted that the Government envisaged that the draft Labour Code would 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).
