Convenio sobre los representantes de los trabajadores, 1971 (núm. 135) - Dominica (Ratificación : 2004)

The Committee notes the observations of the Dominica Public Service Union (DPSU), the Dominica Amalgamated Workers Union (DAWU) and the Dominica Employers’ Federation, communicated with the Government’s report.

Article 2 of the Convention. Facilities granted to workers’ representatives. The Committee notes with regret that despite its repeated calls since 2004, the Government’s report does not provide any information on the practical application of the Convention, but merely indicates that the Labour Division serves as the Government’s principal agency for labour policy administration and ensures that legislative practices are upheld. The Committee notes that the DPSU expresses concern about the lack of information regarding the application of the Convention and that it supports the invitation to request the ILO’s technical assistance in this regard. The Industrial Relations Board, whose opinion the Government indicated in its report, also suggests taking up the said invitation. The Committee once again requests the Government to supply examples of facilities provided to workers’ representatives in existing collective agreements. It hopes that the Government will make every effort to take the necessary action in the near future to ensure the application of the Convention in practice, and recalls that it may avail itself of the ILO’s technical assistance in this respect.
