Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Slovakia (Ratification: 1997)

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. In reply to the Committee’s previous comments, the Government reported in November 2008 that the Economic and Social Council was established in 2007 as a body for consultations and consensus building amongst the social partners at the national level. The Government further indicates that matters covered by the Convention fall within the competence of the Economic and Social Council. The Committee notes with interest that the proposal of the Confederation of Trade Unions of the Slovak Republic to ratify Conventions Nos 135 and 154 as well as Conventions Nos 81 and 129, were accepted by the Government by virtue of Resolution No. 1092 of 19 December 2007 and that the legislative procedure is being followed towards achieving the process of ratification (Article 5(1)(c) of the Convention). The Government also provided information on the tripartite consultations held on the other matters covered by the Convention. The Committee hopes it will continue to receive information on the content and outcome of the consultations held on matters related to international labour standards set forth in the Convention.
