Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2007, published 97th ILC session (2008)

Tripartite Consultation (International Labour Standards) Convention, 1976 (No. 144) - Jamaica (Ratification: 1996)

Article 5, paragraph 1, of the Convention. Tripartite consultations required by the Convention. In the report received in July 2007, the Government indicates that, while the Labour Advisory Committee (LAC) has not met for more than one year, the members of the LAC have made a commitment to restart work after the General Election. In this regard, the Committee notes the items that were discussed by the LAC during the meeting on 17 May 2006. With respect to the matters covered by Article 5 of the Convention, the Government briefly indicates that consultations are usually undertaken at quarterly meetings which are normally chaired by the Minister of Labour and Social Security. The Committee again requests the Government to provide, in its next report, up to date information on the content and outcome of the consultations held, in particular in the LAC, on the subjects related to international labour standards listed in Article 5 of the Convention.
