Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1997, published 86th ILC session (1998)

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 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.
