Observation (CEACR) - adopted 2025, published 114th ILC session (2026)

Labour Relations (Public Service) Convention, 1978 (No. 151) - Antigua and Barbuda (Ratification: 2002)

Articles 4 and 5 of the Convention. The Committee recalls that for a number of years it has been requesting the Government to take the necessary measures to grant civil servants and their organizations sufficient legal protection against anti-union discrimination and interference, and has requested the Government to provide information on cases concerning anti-union discrimination. The Committee notes with concern that the Government limits itself to indicate that no information is available at this time. Hoping to observe tangible progress in the near future, the Committee once again requests the Government to take the necessary measures to grant civil servants and their organizations sufficient legal protection against anti-union discrimination and interference and requests the Government to provide information of any cases concerning anti-union discrimination (especially with respect to the procedures and sanctions imposed). The Committee further recalls that the Government may avail itself of the technical assistance of the Office with respect to the implementation of the Convention.
