Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2012, published 102nd ILC session (2013)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Grenada (Ratification: 1994)

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s brief report received in September 2012, in which it indicates that tripartism has existed in the country for many years, both in practice and in law. It also indicates that, although there are no legislative provisions with respect to the matters dealt with in Convention No. 144, the preparation of replies to Conventions and Recommendations and the composition of delegations to the International Labour Conference and regional and subregional conferences have included delegations from both the employers’ and workers’ organizations. The Committee further notes that the Labour Advisory Board, a tripartite body, meets at least once per month to discuss matters relating to labour. The Committee also notes that the Government’s brief report does not discuss consultation activities pursuant to Article 5 of the Convention. The Committee again must invite the Government to provide detailed information on the consultations held on each of the matters concerning international labour standards listed in Article 5(1) of the Convention. It also invites the Government to include information on the activities of the Labour Advisory Board on the matters covered by the Convention.
