Observación (CEACR) - Adopción: 2008, Publicación: 98ª reunión CIT (2009)

Convenio sobre la protección del salario, 1949 (núm. 95) - Djibouti (Ratificación : 1978)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its previous observation which read as follows:

The Committee notes the communication of the General Union of Djibouti Workers (UGTD) received on 23 August 2007 concerning the application of the Convention. The UGTD states that whereas Chapter IV of the Labour Code (Act No. 133/AN/05/5ème L), in particular section 152, provides for the protection of wages in the strict sense of the word, the absence of wage guarantees such as the guaranteed minimum inter-professional wage (SMIG), which was abolished in September 1997, has deprived the workforce of real income protection. The Committee requests the Government to transmit any comments it may wish to make in reply to the observations of the UGTD. It also asks the Government to transmit its observations on the issues raised in its previous comment concerning the application of Articles 8 (wage deductions for deposits prescribed by individual contracts of employment) and 12 (nature and scale of the problem of wage arrears in the public sector) of the Convention.

The Committee hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the very near future.
