Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2014, published 104th ILC session (2015)

Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100) - Ukraine (Ratification: 1956)

Articles 2(2)(c) and 4 of the Convention. Collective agreements. The Committee notes the Government’s indication that the joint representative body of trade unions has developed a gender policy for use in collective bargaining and in regional and sectoral agreements. The Committee notes the examples of industry wide and sectoral agreements including provisions to ensure equal rights and opportunities for women and men, as well as those including commitments to recommend that collective agreements cover gender equality or gender issues. However, none of the examples expressly address equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value. Noting the Government’s indication that under the current (provisional) General Agreement parties agreed to recommend that the conclusion of collective agreements should include provisions on gender equality, the Committee asks the Government to indicate the measures taken, in cooperation with the social partners, to include explicit provisions on equal remuneration for men and women for work of equal value. Please provide examples of relevant provisions of collective agreements which relate specifically to the principle of the Convention.
