Wages, benefits and conditions of work

     33. Wages,   benefits   and   conditions   of   work  offered  by
multinational enterprises should be not less favourable to the workers
than those offered by comparable employers in the country concerned.
     34. When  multinational   enterprises   operate   in   developing
countries,  where  comparable  employers  may  not exist,  they should
provide the best possible wages,  benefits  and  conditions  of  work,
within  the  framework  of  government  policies <9>.  These should be
related to the economic position of the enterprise,  but should be  at
least  adequate  to  satisfy  basic  needs  of  the  workers and their
families.  Where they provide workers with  basic  amenities  such  as
housing,  medical  care  or food,  these amenities should be of a good
standard <10>.

endeavour  to  adopt  suitable  measures  to  ensure that lower income
groups and less developed areas benefit as much as possible  from  the
activities of multinational enterprises.
