Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Saint Lucia (Ratification: 1980)

The Committee notes with regret that for the second year in succession 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:

With reference to its previous comments on the need for basic legal standards prohibiting acts of anti-union discrimination to be accompanied by sufficiently effective and dissuasive measures to ensure their application in practice, the Committee notes the Government's report stating that it envisages, with ILO assistance, a review of its labour legislation in order to harmonize it with ratified Conventions. It asks the Government in its next report to provide detailed information on all progress made in this respect, particularly on the measures taken to strengthen the national legislation so as to ensure the application of Article 1 of the Convention.

[The Government is asked to report in detail for the period ending 30 June 1993.]
