Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Guyana (Ratification: 1983)

The Committee notes with regret that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.

Repetition

Article 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Government indicates in a report received in May 2014 that the parties are engaged in frequent consultations in matters of tripartite interest; the National Tripartite Committee meets monthly, while its subcommittees meet as necessary. The Government provides support in the form of administrative services, in addition to financing for members of the tripartite committee to participate in conferences, workshops and other developmental initiatives of national interest. The Committee also notes that reports due to the ILO are sent to the tripartite partners for their input. In addition, the Government indicates that the social partners are consulted when international labour Conventions are to be ratified and on international labour Recommendations. The Committee invites the Government to provide updated information on the activities of the National Tripartite Committee on matters regarding international labour standards covered by the Convention. It also invites the Government to include detailed information on the tripartite consultations held concerning each of the matters covered by the Convention.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future.
