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

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

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in reply to its previous comments.

The Committee notes that the text of the draft revision of the labour legislation - which includes provisions on the protection and regulation of wages - has been sent to the Office for comments. The Committee hopes that the revised labour legislation will come into effect in the near future and that the new provisions on fixing of minimum wage rates will apply to agriculture. Please provide a copy of the text as soon as it has been adopted.

Moreover, the Committee notes with regret that the Government has provided no information on how the Convention is applied in practice. It trusts that the Government will provide the relevant information, including extracts of inspection reports, copies of certain collective agreements containing wage rates, and statistics of the number of workers covered by the collective agreements.
