Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100) - Guinea (Ratification: 1967)

The Committee notes that 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, which read as follows:

1. The Committee again asks the Government to provide copies of collective agreements, including the agreement for mines, quarries and chemical industries, which employ a large number of women.

2. With regard to job classification systems and the appraisal criteria used, the Committee notes Order No. 138/MASE/DNTLS/90 of 15 May 1990 to classify jobs in the private and semi-private sector, which establishes the categories: workers, employees and supervisors. The Committee requests the Government to provide statistical data on jobs with a high concentration of women and on the remuneration of women as compared to that of men. It would be grateful if the Government would keep it informed of any developments in the evaluation of jobs in the public sector where, according to the Government's previous report, the only criteria are "qualifications, competence for the job and dedication to good performance".

3. The Committee notes with interest that wages are fixed after freely conducted wage negotiations between employers and workers in the various branches of the economy. It asks the Government to provide detailed information on any measures relating to negotiations that have been taken or are contemplated to ensure and promote application of the principle of equal remuneration for work of equal value. The Committee also asks the Government to supply information on progress made as a result of the implementation of the Labour Code (Ordinance No. 003/PRG/SGG/88 of 28 January 1988).
