ILO Pushes Gov't To Harmonise Labour Laws

The ILO Committee of Experts report of 2020 published last week indicates that despite making satisfactory progress in amending some of the labour laws in respect of the mentioned conventions, the country still lags behind in harmonising some of previous recommendations made by the Conference Committee on the Application of Standards (Conference Committee).

While the committee noted its satisfaction with the Trade Dispute (Amendment) Act (TDA) 2019, which makes the classification of the essential services, it observed amongst other things, that the TDA Act falls short of some of the recommendations of the Conference Committee.
