Convention (n° 144) sur les consultations tripartites relatives aux normes internationales du travail, 1976 - Costa Rica (Ratification: 1981)

Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention. Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s report for the period ending May 2009. The Government indicates that it has shared the documents sent by the ILO with the employers’ and workers’ organizations. The Committee notes with interest the official letters sent between 2006 and 2009 to the social partners requesting their opinions on the matters covered by the Convention. The Government also recalls in its report the agreements reached in the Higher Labour Council, with technical assistance from the ILO, to promote and achieve consensus on the draft reform of labour procedures and other matters relating to freedom of association and collective bargaining. The Government points out that the Higher Labour Council is dedicated to drawing up and discussing the second National Employment Plan and the Decent Work Agenda and for that reason the analysis of Conventions Nos 151 and 154 and the draft labour reform has been temporarily suspended. The Committee requests the Government to continue providing information on the consultations held in the Higher Labour Council on the matters relating to international labour standards covered by the Convention.
