Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2012, published 102nd ILC session (2013)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Nicaragua (Ratification: 1981)

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. Further to the observation from the Confederation of Trade Union Unity of Nicaragua (CUS) to the effect that it received no reports, the Committee notes the communication from the Government received in January 2012 enclosing receipts for the reports delivered to every workers’ and employers’ organization between 2007 and 2011. In the report received in September 2012, the Government states that the reports are brought to the attention of workers’ and employers’ organizations, which may send their observations either to the Ministry of Labour or straight to the ILO. The Committee recalls that, where consultations are held in writing, the Government should transmit a draft report to the representative organizations in order to gather their opinions before preparing its definitive report (paragraph 92 of the General Survey of 2000). The Committee invites the Government to provide detailed information in its next report on the tripartite consultations held on each of the subjects set out in Article 5(1) concerning the international labour standards covered by the Convention.
