Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Uruguay (Ratification: 1987)

Article 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee takes note of the observations provided by the International Organisation of Employers (IOE), the National Chamber of Commerce and Services of Uruguay (CNCS) and the Chamber of Industries of Uruguay (CIU), in which reference is made to Convention No. 144, among other Conventions, and the Government’s response, received on November 2014, in relation to these observations. The Government reports on the work of the Tripartite Group on International Standards, which operates under the auspices of the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, and notes that the Ministry held the relevant consultations prior to the preparation of the reports throughout the period 2009–13. Once the reports had been drafted, they were submitted for consideration by the various sectors in the Tripartite Group on International Standards. Moreover, the Government indicates in the report received in August 2014 that after they had been examined and discussed in the Tripartite Group on International Standards, Conventions Nos 102, 135, 176 and 189 were submitted to Parliament for ratification. The Government also refers to the sectoral activities carried out by the tripartite sectoral safety and health committees. The Committee invites the Government to continue providing information on the consultations held on each of the matters related to international labour standards covered by the Convention.
