Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2008, published 98th ILC session (2009)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Switzerland (Ratification: 2000)

Effective tripartite consultations. In its previous comments, the Committee expressed the hope that the social partners would continue to examine the manner in which the Convention is applied and that they would report on initiatives taken in order to respond to the expectations of all the parties involved in the consultations on international labour standards required by the Convention. The Government states in its report received in August 2008 that the Tripartite Federal Commission on ILO Affairs met on 21 November 2006 and 22 March 2007. The minutes of each meeting were attached to the report. The Committee notes that the Government has approved a decision of the Tripartite Commission to maintain this institution. The Committee would be grateful if the Government would continue to report regularly on the tripartite consultations held on each of the matters referred to in Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention.
