The Committee notes the observations of the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) received in November 2014 and the Government’s response received in February 2015.
Article 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee notes from the Government’s report that consultations were held on matters concerning international labour standards. In its observations, the CITU refers to Government statements that key labour legislation would be tabled in Parliament without prior consultation in any tripartite forum. In its response, the Government provides information on specific legislatives texts that have been amended, such as the Apprentices Act, 1961, and indicates that all pieces of draft legislation were first discussed in tripartite meetings before finalization. Moreover, the Government indicates that several unratified Conventions were discussed at the 36th and 37th Sessions of the Tripartite Committee on Conventions held in September 2012 and April 2015. The Committee notes with interest that, following tripartite consultations, the Seafarers’ Identity Documents Convention (Revised), 2003 (No. 185), and the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 (MLC, 2006), were ratified in October 2015. The Committee requests the Government to continue to provide information on the tripartite consultations held on the matters concerning international labour standards covered by the Convention.
