Convenio sobre la consulta tripartita (normas internacionales del trabajo), 1976 (núm. 144) - Nueva Caledonia

Effective tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the report sent by the Government of New Caledonia for the period ending in June 2011. Its notes with interest that a new body, the Council for Social Dialogue (CDS), was set up in December 2010. The establishment of the Council forms part of the promotion of social democracy as a mode of governance and social regulation aimed at creating a balance in labour relations. The CDS comprises equal numbers of representatives from the recognized representative employers’ and workers’ organizations in New Caledonia. Each year the CDS is informed of the Government’s policy, of its proposed reforms in the areas of work, employment, vocational training, employee protection and social security, and also of the timetable for the implementation of such measures. As regards the matters relating to international labour standards covered by the Convention, the Committee notes that the report was referred to the Labour Advisory Committee for its opinion in August 2011 (Article 5(1)(c) of the Convention). The Committee hopes that the Government’s next report will contain further information on the effective tripartite consultations held on the matters covered by Article 5(1) of the Convention within the competence of the Government of New Caledonia.
