The Committee notes that the Government indicates in its report that a new law on collective bargaining is being drafted with the aim to update 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. According to the Government’s report, an advanced draft of the legislation has already been reviewed by the Labour Advisory Board and the Ministry of Justice and Police. The Committee requests the Government to provide, with 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 technical assistance from the ILO.
