Observation (CEACR) - adopted 1993, published 80th ILC session (1993)

Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - Barbados (Ratification: 1967)

In its previous comments concerning section 4 of the Better Security Act of 1920 (Chapter 160) under which any person who wilfully breaks a contract of service or employment, knowing that he may thus endanger real or personal property, is liable to imprisonment or a fine, the Committee had noted the Government's statement to the effect that this provision had not been invoked for many years and that it was unlikely that its sanctions would be applied, since it was outdated.

Given the Government's statement that it would consider amending this provision of the Act along the lines suggested by the Committee in its previous comments, the Committee requests the Government to supply a copy of the amended Act once adopted.
