Saint Lucia closer to getting a National Tripartite Advisory Committee

Published on May 4, 2026

On April 29, 2026, Prime Minister Pierre, on behalf of the Government of Saint Lucia, signed ILO Convention No. 144, formally paving the way for the establishment of the National Tripartite Advisory Committee.

The Committee brings together representatives of the Department of Labour, the Saint Lucia Trade Union Federation and the Saint Lucia Employers Federation. 

Its purpose is simple but significant: to ensure Government, workers and employers sit at the same table when important labour issues and workplace policies are being discussed.

For Saint Lucian workers, this means a stronger voice in matters affecting jobs, wages, working conditions, rights, protections and general welfare.

For employers, it creates a meaningful platform to share their views, raise concerns and contribute to policies that support productivity, business growth and job creation.

For Government, it strengthens decision-making by ensuring policies are guided by consultation, cooperation and practical input from the people and organisations directly affected.
