Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2005, Publicación: 95ª reunión CIT (2006)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It hopes that a report will be supplied for examination by the Committee at its next session and that it will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous direct request, which read as follows:

Concerning its previous request for information on the issue of redress for victims of anti-union discrimination, the Committee had noted that the Congress of Trade Unions and Staff Associations of Barbados considers in its comments on the Government’s report that the Trade Union Act could be strengthened to give added protection to persons who join or contemplate joining a trade union, in particular, by introducing provisions imposing sanctions on an employer who discriminates against a worker on the basis of his/her trade union activities. The Committee requests the Government to indicate in its next report the legislative provisions which provide workers with protection against acts of anti-union discrimination including the applicable sanctions, and any relevant information on the practical application of these provisions.
