See under Convention No. 26, as follows:

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government and the comments on the application of this Convention communicated by the General Union of Workers of Guinea (UGTG), a copy of which was sent to the Government in November 1992 for its comments.

The UGTG indicates that, in its view, the wage scales for public sector employees are not sufficient to cover the living costs of a worker's family of five members and that the new Labour Code of 1988 is applied without any subsequent texts having been issued. The Committee notes that the Government has not sent its comments on the above-mentioned observations of the UGTG.

The Committee notes that under section 211 of the Labour Code the minimum hourly wage rate is fixed by decree. It also notes the Government's indication in its report that it intends to promote free wage bargaining in enterprises and to take account of the results in fixing a guaranteed inter-occupational minimum wage. The Committee asks the Government to provide detailed information on the application of the minimum wage-fixing machinery provided for in the new Code, particularly as regards consultation and participation of employers' and workers' organizations in equal numbers and on equal terms (Article 3, paragraph 2(1) and (2), of the Convention). It asks the Government also to provide information on the results of the application of this machinery in accordance with Article 5, and in particular copies of decrees issued under section 211 of the Labour Code.
