Direct Request (CEACR) - adopted 2017, published 107th ILC session (2018)

Labour Clauses (Public Contracts) Convention, 1949 (No. 94) - Anguilla

Article 2 of the Convention. Insertion of labour clauses in public contracts. The Committee notes that, for a number of years, the Government has been indicating that discussions were continuing with respect to the adoption of a draft Labour Code, which was expected to consolidate, among other laws, the Fair Labour Standards Act, the legislation which currently gives effect to the Convention. It also noted the Government’s indication in its 2012 report that the draft Labour Code would no longer exclude casual workers from its scope and that it would not specify a minimum value threshold for public contracts. The Government indicates in its report that the adoption of the draft Labour Code is targeted for 2017. The Committee once again requests the Government to keep the Office informed of any progress concerning the adoption of the new Labour Code, in particular the provisions in the new Code giving effect to the provisions of the Convention, as well as the Labour Clauses in Public Contracts Rules, appended to the Government’s 2009 report. It also requests the Government to provide copies of the relevant legislative texts, as soon as these are adopted.
