Minimum Wage-Fixing Machinery Convention, 1928 (No. 26) - Guinea-Bissau (Ratification: 1977)

Article 3 of the Convention. Operation of the minimum wage-fixing machinery. With regard to its previous comment, the Committee notes with regret that the Government's report does not contain any new information in this respect and that a new updated minimum wage for the private sector has still not been fixed. Recalling that the minimum wage in the private sector has not been readjusted since 1988, the Committee once again requests the Government to take the necessary measures to fix an updated minimum wage for the private sector as soon as possible, on the basis of the proposals of the multidisciplinary commission established by the Prime Minister's Ordinance of 9 June 2021, after consultation with the workers' and employers' representative organizations, in application of the legislation in force. The Committee also requests the Government to provide information in this regard, in particular on the commission’s composition, functioning, meetings and results.
