Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2001, published 90th ILC session (2002)

Freedom of Association and Protection of the Right to Organise Convention, 1948 (No. 87) - Saint Lucia (Ratification: 1980)

The Committee notes with satisfaction the adoption of the Registration, Status and Recognition of Trade Unions and Employers’ Organizations Act, 1999 (the Act). It notes, in particular, the limitation now placed on the power of the Registrar to inspect trade union accounts, which had been requested by the Committee in its previous comments.

The Committee regrets, however, that once again the Government’s report has not been received.

The Committee has addressed comments concerning other aspects of the Act directly to the Government.
