The Committee had previously noted the Government’s indication that a new law on collective bargaining was being drafted with the aim of updating the existing Collective Bargaining Agreements Act, in order to further implement relevant ILO instruments, including the Convention, as well as the Caribbean Community Model Law on the Recognition, Status and Registration of Trade Unions. The Committee notes that the Government states in its report that the Ministry of Labour, Technological Development and Environment is currently in the process of analysing and processing the comments made by the social partners and other relevant stakeholders, and that, as soon as these comments have been processed, the draft law will be sent to the Council of Ministers and ultimately to the National Assembly. The Committee requests the Government to provide, in its next report, information regarding developments in respect to this legislative process, and to send a copy of the legislation once adopted. The Committee invites the Government to consider availing itself of technical assistance from the ILO.
