The Committee takes note of the Labour Procedures Reform Bill, before the Legislative Assembly, which amends some provisions of the legislation on the right to strike.

The Committee notes in particular that the Bill establishes a requirement for 40 per cent of the workers in order to call a strike, subjects strikes to a limit of 45 calendar days (after which arbitration is compulsory) and includes the loading and unloading of perishable goods among the essential public services in which strikes are forbidden.

In the Committee’s view, these provisions are not fully consistent with the principles set forth in the Convention. It accordingly requests the Government to undertake an in-depth discussion with the social partners on these matters with a view to giving proper effect to the abovementioned principles in the legislation.
