Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2010, published 100th ILC session (2011)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Trinidad and Tobago (Ratification: 1995)

The Committee notes that the Government’s report has not been received. It must therefore repeat its 2008 observation which read as follows:

Tripartite consultations required under the Convention. The Committee takes note of the information contained in the Government’s report received in August 2008 in reply to its 2007 comments. The Government reports on the consultations held by the ILO 144 Tripartite Committee on matters set forth under the Convention. The Committee notes with interest that, following consultations held over this period, the Tripartite Committee agreed to recommend the ratification of the Employment Policy Convention, 1964 (No. 122), and the Occupational Safety and Health Convention, 1981 (No. 155). The Committee also recalls that ratification of the Labour Inspection Convention, 1947 (No. 81), and the Labour Administration Convention, 1978 (No. 150), was registered in August 2007. The Committee welcomes being informed of such developments and expresses its wish to be kept informed of any follow-up on the recommendation by the Tripartite Committee concerning the ratification of other ILO Conventions (Article 5(1)(c) of the Convention). The Committee also requests the Government to continue to report regularly on the tripartite consultations held further to this Convention, and would be grateful if the Government would supply copies of reports and information on any recommendations produced as a result of such tripartite consultations held on each of the matters listed in Article 5(1) of the Convention.
