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

The Committee notes, with reference to its previous request, that according to the Government, compulsory arbitration ordered by the Minister responsible for the subject of labour is only permissible in essential services.

Article 6 of the Convention. The Committee once again recalls that, according to legislation, prison staff and fire personnel do not enjoy the rights and guarantees provided for in the Convention. The Committee notes that the Government’s report does not contain information on this issue and again requests the Government to take measures in order to grant to these categories of worker the rights and guarantees provided for in the Convention.
