Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

Minimum Wage-Fixing Machinery Convention, 1928 (No. 26) - Grenada (Ratification: 1979)

With reference to the previous comments, the Committee notes the statement by the Government in its report that the plan to enact minimum wage legislation for those workers not covered at present by either a collective agreement or a minimum wage order, which was made in the context of the formulation of a Labour Code undertaken with assistance of the ILO, is now temporarily stalled by reasons of unavailability of the ILO expert. It also notes the Government's repeated expression of intention to consult all interested organizations when the draft becomes available. The Committee requests the Government to indicate any development in this respect.

In the meantime, the Committee notes the Government's indication that, in respect of every industry in Grenada, there exists arrangements for the regulation of wages through collective agreements. It also notes the excerpts from recent collective agreements as well as the number of workers covered. The Committee requests the Government to continue supplying information on the results of the application of the minimum wage fixing machinery as required by Article 5 of the Convention.
