Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2015, published 105th ILC session (2016)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Peru (Ratification: 2004)

Article 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee notes the Government’s reply to the observations made in 2014 by the Autonomous Workers’ Confederation of Peru (CATP) and the Single Confederation of Workers of Peru (CUT) regarding the tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Government describes the activities of the National Labour and Employment Promotion Council (CNTPE) in relation to the discussion of a national employment policy (2011), the increase in the minimum wage (2012), the analysis of the international economic situation and its impact on the Peruvian economy (2013) and the national social security policy (2014). As to consultations on the possible ratification of the Domestic Workers Convention, 2011 (No. 189), the Government indicates that the employers proposed exploring the possibility of ratifying Convention No. 189 at the CNTPE, and the four trade union confederations supported its ratification. However, following bipartite consultations, the employers concluded that Convention No. 189 should not be ratified, while the workers continue to advocate its ratification. The Government considers that the tripartite consultations on this matter have been completed. It also indicates in its report that the meetings of the CNTPE resumed in April 2015 and that Legislative Resolution No. 30312 of 5 March 2015 approved the ratification of the Maternity Protection Convention, 2000 (No. 183). The Committee requests the Government to continue providing information on the consultations held on each of the matters relating to the international labour standards set forth in the Convention.
