Seguimiento dado a las recomendaciones del Comité y del Consejo de Administración - Informe núm. 323, Noviembre 2000

Effect given to the recommendations of the Committee and the Governing Body

1. 81. The Committee last examined this case at its March 2000 meeting when it requested the Government to keep it informed of any further developments as concerns its commitment to including management persons within the scope of the provisions of the 1998 Trade Union Amendment Act and as concerns any measures taken to provide for further protection against any eventual employer intimidation or interference in respect of the procedures for union certification or de-certification [see 320th Report, paras. 784-801].
2. 82. In a communication dated 15 September 2000, the Government of Bermuda informed the Committee that the 1998 Trade Union Amendment Act has now come into force after consultation with the social partners and following concerns expressed by the unions that certain added protections afforded by the Act were not yet in place due to its non-effective status. At the same time, the Government gave a further undertaking to continue, in consultation with the social partners, to find a workable solution to the question of the inclusion of middle managers within the scope of the Act.
3. 83. The Committee takes due note of this information and requests the Government to continue to keep it informed of any further developments.
