Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 2006, publiée 96ème session CIT (2007)

Convention (n° 87) sur la liberté syndicale et la protection du droit syndical, 1948 - Jamaïque (Ratification: 1962)

The Committee notes the comments of 10 August 2006 by the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions (ICFTU), which largely concern legislative issues still outstanding that are already being examined. The ICFTU draws attention to obstacles to the exercise of trade union rights in the export processing zones, where no unions exist. The Committee requests the Government to send its observations on the ICFTU’s comments.

The Committee also requests the Government, in the context of the regular reporting cycle, to send for examination at its next session, to be held in November‑December 2007, comments on all the questions raised in the direct request of 2005 (see 2005 direct request, 76th Session).
