Observation (CEACR) - adoptée 1994, publiée 81ème session CIT (1994)

Convention (n° 87) sur la liberté syndicale et la protection du droit syndical, 1948 - Antigua-et-Barbuda (Ratification: 1983)

Further to its previous comments in relation to the limitation on the right to strike, the Committee noted with interest the judgement of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, dated February 1993, which reversed the decisions of the lower court and held that in a case of strike - which had been examined by the Committee on Freedom of Association in Case No. 1296 - dismissal of the strikers had been unfair.

It requests the Government to keep it informed of any legislative developments with respect to the right to strike in conformity with the principles of freedom of association.
