Minimum Wage Fixing Machinery (Agriculture) Convention, 1951 (No. 99) - Djibouti (Ratification: 1978)

Articles 1 and 3 of the Convention. Minimum wage fixing machinery. Further to its previous observation in which it noted that the Convention has for all practical purposes ceased to apply following the Government’s decision to abolish the system of guaranteed interoccupational minimum wage (SMIG), the Committee notes the Government’s statement that Djibouti is not an agricultural country. It also notes that the Government’s report does not reply to the observations made by the General Union of Djibouti Workers (UGTD) and transmitted to the Government in September 2007 concerning the application of the Convention. The Committee asks the Government to refer to its comments made under Convention No. 26.
