Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1989, published 76th ILC session (1989)

Minimum Wage Fixing Convention, 1970 (No. 131) - United Republic of Tanzania (Ratification: 1983)

The Committee notes the information supplied by the Government in reply to the previous direct request. It hopes that further information will be supplied in the next report on the following points:

Article 1, paragraphs 1 and 2, of the Convention. 1. Please supply a copy of staff circular No. 3 of 1987, and copies of staff circulars which fix the wages of the members of the United Teaching Service, the Defence Force, the Police Force and the Prisons Force.

2. In the previous direct request the Committee asked the Government to provide information on the application of the Convention in Zanzibar, on the understanding that minimum wages had been fixed therein. The Committee notes from the Government's report that the Regulation of Wages and Terms of Employment Ordinance (Cap. 300) does not apply to Zanzibar. It hopes that the Government will indicate the measures taken or contemplated to ensure the effective implementation of the Convention in Zanzibar.
