Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2020, published 109th ILC session (2021)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Guyana (Ratification: 1983)

The Committee notes with concern that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments.

Repetition

Article 5(1) of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government on the activities of the National Tripartite Committee (NTC), which refers to the NTC’s work relative to the establishment of a National Industrial Tribunal and a National Minimum Wage Survey, as well as activities addressing the issue of social dialogue and the promotion of Guyana’s Decent Work Country Programme. The Committee notes, however, that the Government’s report provides no information on tripartite consultations held concerning the matters covered by Article 5(1) of the Convention. The Committee therefore requests the Government to provide detailed information on the content and outcome of tripartite consultations held on all of the matters concerning international labour standards covered by the Convention, relating to the questionnaires on the Conference agenda items (Article 5(1)(a)); the submission of instruments adopted by the Conference to the Assembly of the Parliament of Guyana (Article 5(1)(b)); the re-examination at appropriate intervals of unratified Conventions and Recommendations to which effect has not yet been given (Article 5(1)(c)); questions arising out of reports to be presented on the application of ratified Conventions (Article 5(1)(d)); and the possible denunciation of ratified Conventions (Article 5(1)(e)).
