Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

Labour Relations (Public Service) Convention, 1978 (No. 151) - Guyana (Ratification: 1983)

The Committee notes that for the second year in succession the Government's report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request:

The Committee notes the Government's confirmation of its understanding that the wages agreement entered into on 21 April 1987 by the Government and the Trades Union Congress is the current standard for public sector workers on this subject. The Committee requests the Government to supply information on the renegotiation, if any, of this 1987 agreement, and to supply a copy of it and of any new instrument that might have been negotiated by public employees' organizations for public employees (Article 7 of the Convention).

The Government's report states that the statistics requested previously by the Committee (and set out in point V of the report form) are being compiled. Since they have not yet reached the Office, the Committee again requests the Government to transmit this information so that it has at its disposal this data throwing light on the practical application of the Convention.
