Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2009, published 99th ILC session (2010)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Indonesia (Ratification: 1990)

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention and technical assistance from the Office. The Committee notes the information contained in the Government’s report received in October 2009 in reply to its previous observation. The Government indicates that Government Regulation No. 46/2008, amending Regulation No. 8/2005, provides that the composition of the Tripartite Cooperation Institution (LKS) will consist of an equal number of members representing the Government, workers and employers. Furthermore, under the new regulation, the education requirement of members was modified from holding a university degree to a senior high school degree. The Committee also notes the LKS activities in 2008 and 2009 include social dialogue and consultation at the provincial level, discussions concerning the global economic crisis, and an audience with the President of the Republic of Indonesia and the Parliament. In view of the information received, the Committee wishes to draw the Government’s attention to the possibility of seeking the Office’s technical assistance in order to provide detailed information of such a nature as to demonstrate that the tripartite consultations on international labour standards required by the Convention are actually held in practice. The Committee once again refers to its previous observations and asks the Government to report on the effective consultations held by the LKS as required by Article 5(1) of the Convention.
