Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2011, published 101st ILC session (2012)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Jamaica (Ratification: 1996)

Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. The Committee notes the Government’s report received in September 2011. The Government reiterates in its report that the Labour Advisory Committee (LAC) is the designated body established to facilitate tripartite consultations. The Government indicates that the ILO is an important facilitator of trainings of participants on the consultative procedures. It also indicates that annual reports on the working of procedures are not normally issued. However, minutes of each meeting are compiled and distributed to each member of the Tripartite Committee. The Government further indicates in its report that it endeavours to keep the ILO informed on the content and outcome of any consultations held on subjects related to international labour standards. The Committee invites the Government to provide in its next report up-to-date information on the Conventions being considered by the LAC as well as information on the content and outcome of the tripartite consultations on the matters relating to international labour standards listed in Article 5(1) of the Convention. In this regard, the Committee wishes to draw the Government’s attention to the questionnaires concerning items of the agenda of the Conference, the submission of instruments adopted by the Conference to the Parliament, and the reports to be made on the application of ratified Conventions.
