Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2011, published 101st ILC session (2012)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Dominican Republic (Ratification: 1999)

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s detailed report received in August 2011. It also notes the comments by the National Confederation of Trade Union Unity (CNUS), the Autonomous Confederation of Workers' Unions (CASC) and the National Confederation of Dominican Workers (CNTD), forwarded to the Government in September 2011. The trade union confederations indicate that, in 2010, the Government transmitted the reports on the application of the ratified Conventions to them two months after the deadline for submitting such reports to the ILO. They further indicate that they did not receive the reports on the application of ratified Conventions for the year 2011. According to the trade union confederations, no institutional procedure was established for the tripartite follow up to the adoption, submission, ratification and application of international labour standards. The Committee requests the Government to indicate the manner in which it ensures full compliance with the tripartite consultations required when preparing draft reports on the application of ratified Conventions (Article 5(1)(d) of the Convention). It also requests the Government to provide information on the consultations held on the other matters relating to international labour standards provided for in Article 5(1) of the Convention.

[The Government is asked to reply in detail to the present comments in 2012.]
