Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2009, Publicación: 99ª reunión CIT (2010)

Convenio sobre los métodos para la fijación de salarios mínimos, 1928 (núm. 26) - Zimbabwe (Ratificación : 1993)

Articles 1 and 3 of the Convention. Minimum wage fixing machinery. The Committee notes the observations of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions (ZCTU) dated 21 September 2009 concerning the application of the Convention. According to the ZCTU, the Minister of Labour and Social Services has been ignoring the recommendations of the tripartite Wages and Salaries Advisory Board for the past two years. The minimum wage for domestic workers and unclassified workers was last set in 2007, and, as a result, these categories of workers are now subject to poor remuneration and exploitation. The Committee would appreciate receiving any comments the Government may wish to make in response to the observations of the ZCTU.
