Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29) - Bahamas (Ratification: 1976)

The Committee has noted the Government’s report.

Freedom to leave employment. In its earlier comments relating to the freedom of public servants to leave their employment, the Committee requested the Government to supply a copy of the legislation governing the public service (General Orders). It noted from the Government’s report of 1998 that the social partners had completed their review and amendments to the General Orders, and that the result of the review was to be approved by the competent authority. As the Government’s latest report contains no information on this point, the Committee again requests the Government to send a copy of the General Orders and of any amendments relating to the freedom to leave the service.
