Convenio sobre la consulta tripartita (normas internacionales del trabajo), 1976 (núm. 144) - Fiji (Ratificación : 1998)

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government in its report received in May 2011. The Government indicates that the Employment Relations Advisory Board (ERAB) convened five meetings in 2010, three of which were special board meetings to discuss issues relating to the country’s national minimum wage. It also indicates that all government policies that are raised through the ERAB are dealt with on a tripartite basis as required under section 8(1) of the Employment Relations Promulgation 2007. The ERAB is composed of two women, a representative from the Fiji National Council of Disabled Persons (FNCDP), along with representatives from the government, employers’ and workers’ organizations. The Committee also recalls the ratification in January 2010 of the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122), and the Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129). The Committee invites the Government to provide information in its next report on the consultations held on each of the matters relating to international labour standards set out in Article 5(1) of the Convention, indicating the nature of any reports or recommendations made as a result of the consultations.
