Barbados
Barbados has been a member of the ILO since 08 May 1967 and has actively championed workers rights. This is reflected in their ratification of 41 ILO conventions, covering areas like Violence and Harassment, ensuring freedom of association, and promoting equal pay. They've also established a strong social partnership – a collaborative system where the Government, private sector, and unions work together to address economic and labour issues.
