Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2021, published 110th ILC session (2022)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Czechia (Ratification: 2000)

Article 5(1) of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government on the outcome of tripartite consultations held pursuant to the Convention. In this respect, it notes with interest the Government’s ratification of the Maternity Protection Convention, 2000 (No. 183) on 3 July 2017 and the Collective Bargaining Convention, 1981 (No. 154) on 6 December 2017, following tripartite consultations. With respect to tripartite consultations held to re-examine unratified Conventions (Article 5(1)(c)), the Government indicates that no agreement was reached between the social partners on the setting of an objective mechanism for raising the minimum wage. It therefore decided not to submit a proposal for ratification of the Minimum Wage Fixing Convention, 1970 (No. 131), taking into account the importance of having tripartite consensus on this issue. It adds that an analysis of the Workers with Family Responsibilities Convention, 1981 (No. 156) is being elaborated, but has not yet been the topic of a tripartite discussion. The Government also reports that a meeting of the Working Team of the Council for Economic and Social Agreement for Cooperation with the ILO was held on 10 May 2019 to discuss the comments of the Committee on the application by Czechia of certain ratified Conventions. The Committee welcomes the information provided and requests the Government to continue to provide information on the content and outcome of the tripartite consultations held on all of the matters concerning international labour standards covered by the Convention, including with respect to Conventions identified for possible ratification.
