Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Aruba

Previous comment

Article 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee welcomes the Government’s response to its previous comments, initially made in 2015, in which it requested information on the content and outcome of tripartite consultations held on the matters concerning international labour standards covered by the Convention. The Government reports on the topics placed on the agenda for tripartite consultations held during the reporting period. These included: the possible application of the Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100), the Promotional Framework for Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 2006 (No. 187), the Work in Fishing Convention, 2007 (No. 188), the Domestic Workers Convention, 2011 (No. 189), the Protocol of 1995 to the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947, and the Protocol of 2014 to the Forced Labour Convention, 1930. Tripartite consultations were also held regarding compliance with the provisions of the Labour Clauses (Public Contracts) Convention, 1949 (No. 94), the possible denunciation of the Sickness Insurance (Agriculture) Convention, 1927 (No. 25) and the Certification of Able Seamen Convention, 1946 (No. 74). The topics on the agenda for tripartite consultations also included the examination of the ILOSTAT Questionnaire (2015–17), the annual tripartite participation in the International Labour Conference and the ILO reporting schedule for 2018, 2019 and 2020. The Government does not, however, provide information on the outcome, if any, of the tripartite consultations held. The Committee therefore requests the Government to provide detailed, up-to-date information on the content, frequency and outcome of tripartite consultations held on all matters related to international labour standards covered by the Convention.
