Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 1989, published 76th ILC session (1989)

Right to Organise and Collective Bargaining Convention, 1949 (No. 98) - Barbados (Ratification: 1967)

The Committee notes the Government's statement in its report to the effect that no measures have been taken to adopt a legislative provision protecting workers' organisations against acts of interference by employers' organisations, in accordance with Article 2 of the Convention.

The Committee recalls, however, as it did in its General Survey submitted to the 69th (1983) Session of the International Labour Conference (paragraphs 283 and 284) and in its 1987 direct request, that specific action, particularly by legislative means, should be taken to ensure that protection. The Committee hopes that the Government will take such action in the near future.
