Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1999, published 88th ILC session (2000)

Minimum Wage-Fixing Machinery Convention, 1928 (No. 26) - Democratic Republic of the Congo (Ratification: 1960)

The Committee notes with regret 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:

Articles 3 and 5 of the Convention. The Committee notes the Government's statement that, as a result of the Recommendation of the Supreme National Conference providing, inter alia, for the SMIG to be reviewed every six months to take account of the cost of living, the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare is currently drafting provisions which are shortly to be submitted to the National Labour Council. The Committee asks the Government to provide information on any further developments in this matter. The Committee also takes note of the information on the activities of the labour inspectorate. It hopes that the Government will continue to supply information on the practical effect given to the Convention.
