Repetition

Article 5 of the Convention. Effective tripartite consultations. The Committee notes that the Government’s report does not contain information on the tripartite consultations held on matters related to the Convention. The Committee once again requests the Government to provide detailed information on the activities of the National Labour Board on matters regarding international labour standards covered by the Convention. It also once again requests the Government to include detailed and updated information on the tripartite consultations held concerning each of the matters related to international labour standards covered by Article 5(1) of the Convention.

Article 5(1)(b). Submission to Parliament. The Government indicates in its report that all instruments adopted by the Conference were submitted to the relevant authority for action. The Committee refers to its observations on the obligation to submit and once again requests the Government to report on the effective consultations held with respect to proposals made to the Parliament of Antigua and Barbuda in connection with the submission of the instruments adopted by the Conference, including indications of the date on which the instruments were submitted to Parliament.

Article 5(1)(c). Examination of unratified Conventions and Recommendations. The Government reiterates, as it did in 2014, that it notes the comments made by the Committee with regard to the examination of unratified Conventions. The Committee refers to its previous comments and urges the Government to provide updated information on the re-examination of unratified Conventions with its social partners, in particular: (i) the Labour Inspection (Agriculture) Convention, 1969 (No. 129), which is deemed a governance Convention; (ii) the Holidays with Pay Convention (Revised), 1970 (No. 132), (which revises the Weekly Rest (Industry) Convention, 1921 (No. 14)), and the Holidays with Pay (Agriculture) Convention, 1952 (No. 101), to which Antigua and Barbuda is a State party); and (iii) the Seafarers’ Identity Documents Convention (Revised), 2003 (No. 185), (which revises the Seafarers’ Identity Documents Convention, 1958 (No. 108)), that has also been ratified by Antigua and Barbuda).
