Minimum Wage Fixing Convention, 1970 (No. 131) - Cuba (Ratification: 1972)

Previous comment

Article 4(2) and (3) of the Convention. Consultations with organizations of employers or representatives of employers. With regard to its earlier comments, the Committee notes the Government’s indication that throughout the process of drawing up Decision No. 29 of 2020, approving the minimum wage in force in the country, consultations were held with the Confederation of Workers of Cuba (CTC) as the most representative organization of workers. In this context, the Committee requests the Government to take the necessary steps, within the framework of the functioning of the minimum wage fixing machinery, to ensure in future full compliance with the obligation to consult fully with the representative organizations of employers and workers concerned or, where no such organizations exist, representatives of employers and workers concerned, as provided by Article 4(2) and (3) of the Convention.

The Committee is raising other matters in a request addressed directly to the Government.
