Minimum Wage Fixing Convention, 1970 (No. 131) - Burkina Faso (Ratification: 1974)

The Committee takes note of the information supplied by the Government in its reports of 1986 and 1988. It notes that the Government has taken measures to raise awareness among employers and intends to take steps to ensure that effect is given to the Convention particularly with regard to labour inspection activities. The Committee notes with interest Kiti No. An V O128/FP/TRAV fixing minimum guaranteed inter-occupational wages, and the decision of the Inter-Occupational Joint Committee, increasing the basic wages of workers, employees, foremen, technicians and similar categories for 1988.

The Committee hopes that, in its next report, the Government will provide information on the practical effect given to the Convention and, in particular, on extracts of labour inspection reports, in accordance with the provisions of Article 5 of the Convention.
