Convention (n° 26) sur les méthodes de fixation des salaires minima, 1928 - Angola (Ratification: 1976)

The Committee notes the information provided in the Government's reports on various decrees concerning the national minimum wage and other wage matters. It notes that while reference is made to Joint Decree No. 30-C/92 of the Ministries of Finance and of Labour and Social Security, of 15 May 1992, concerning the minimum wage, the copy attached to the report is that of Decree No. 30/92 on a different subject. The Committee would be grateful to the Government for supplying a copy of Joint Decree No. 30-C/92 or of any subsequent Decree fixing the minimum wage.

Article 3, paragraph 2(2), of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government's indication that the system of consultations referred to in this provision suffers shortcomings from the lack of laws regarding trade unions and collective bargaining. It requests the Government to indicate any measures taken or contemplated to enable employers' representatives to participate in the system of minimum wage fixing in equal numbers and on equal terms with workers' representatives.

Article 3, paragraph 2(3), and Article 4. Noting the Government's statement in the report that the above-mentioned Joint Decree fixes a compulsory minimum wage, the Committee requests the Government to specify how a breach of the minimum wage by an individual agreement would be rectified, and what sanction is provided for the infringement, referring to specific provisions of legislation concerned.
