Solicitud directa (CEACR) - Adopción: 2021, Publicación: 110ª reunión CIT (2022)

Convenio sobre los representantes de los trabajadores, 1971 (núm. 135) - Antigua y Barbuda (Ratificación : 2002)

The Committee notes with deep concern that the Government’s report has not been received. It expects that the next report will contain full information on the matters raised in its previous comments. The Committee informs the Government that, if it has not supplied replies to the points raised by 1 September 2022, then it may proceed with the examination of the application of the Convention on the basis of the information at its disposal at its next session.

Repetition

Application in practice. In its previous comments, the Committee had, in order to evaluate the manner in which legislation was applied in practice, requested the Government to indicate the different kinds of facilities provided in existing collective agreements, the number of existing collective agreements, the sectors covered and the number of workers to whom they apply. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government indicating subjects included in, and sectors covered by, collective agreements. Recalling that Article 2 of the Convention indicates that appropriate facilities in undertakings should be afforded to workers’ representatives in order to enable them to carry out their functions promptly and efficiently, the Committee invites the Government to indicate the facilities for workers’ representatives provided for in existing collective agreements, the number of collective agreements that exist in the country, and the number of workers to whom each apply.
