Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - Saint Lucia (Ratification: 1980)

The Committee notes with deep concern that the Government’s report has not been received. It expects that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments. The Committee informs the Government that, if it has not supplied replies to the points raised by 1 September 2020, then it may proceed with the examination of the application of the Convention on the basis of the information at its disposal at its next session.

Article 2 of the Convention. Public service. Noting that section 3(2) of the Labour Act 2006 provides that the Act “shall not apply to the Crown or to a public servant except where expressly stated in this section or in any other provision of this Act”, the Committee requests the Government to indicate which are the relevant provisions of the national legislation which ensure that public servants benefit from the rights recognized in the Convention.
