Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1995, published 82nd ILC session (1995)

Minimum Wage Fixing Convention, 1970 (No. 131) - Costa Rica (Ratification: 1979)

The Committee notes the comments made by the Confederation of Workers Rerum Novarum (CTRN), which point out the long working hours effected without additional pay in the road transport sector, resulting in an excessively low wage rate per hour. It invites the Government to provide information on the question in the light of Article 5 (effective application of provisions concerning minimum wages) of the Convention.

The Committee is also addressing a direct request to the Government on certain other points.

[The Government is asked to report in detail by 1 September 1995, at the latest.]
