Weekly Rest (Industry) Convention, 1921 (No. 14) - Antigua and Barbuda (RATIFICATION: 1983)

The Committee notes with regret 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:

Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention. The Committee asks the Government to indicate any collective agreement, such as the Collective Agreement between Eastern Airlines, Inc., and the Antigua Workers’ Union, or other national practice which takes advantage of permissive exceptions from the weekly rest period as provided for in Convention No. 24, paragraph (1) of the Antigua Labour Code No. 14 of 1975, as amended by Act No. 3 of 1976. It furthermore requests the Government to supply information on whether use has been made by orders of the Minister of Labour of the power provided for in Convention No. 24, paragraph (4) of the Labour Code to place certain categories of the establishments enumerated therein under special weekly rest schemes. Please also supply copies of the relevant collective agreements, other national provisions and ministerial orders which may have been adopted so far.

Article 6 of the Convention. Where advantage has been taken of the permissive provisions of Article 4 of the Convention (Convention No. 24, paragraph (1) of the Labour Code), the Committee would be grateful, if the Government would communicate a list of exceptions and indicate separately (a) the total exceptions and (b) the partial exceptions, distinguishing in the latter case suspensions and diminutions and giving as full information as possible regarding such suspensions and diminutions.
