Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2010, published 100th ILC session (2011)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Ecuador (Ratification: 1979)

Articles 2 and 5 of the Convention. Strengthening social dialogue and tripartite consultations. The Committee notes the Government’s reply for the period ending September 2010, and the response communicated by the International Organisation of Employers, in response to the previous direct request. The Government indicates that constitutional mandate No. 8, adopted in May 2008, had the objective to eliminate precarious forms of work and labour exploitation, such as outsourcing, employment provided through intermediaries and contracting on an hourly basis. In addition, the constitutional mandate strengthens the arrangement of the Ministry of Labour Relations. The Government declares that it is in constant dialogue with both employers and workers. The Committee invites the Government to provide detailed information on measures adopted to strengthen tripartism and social dialogue and to ensure effective tripartite consultations required regarding matters covered by the Convention.
