A to Z of Industrial Relations in the Caribbean Workplace

[This text] comes against a background of a new era in Caribbean economic history and experience. The Caribbean Single Market and Economy has had a long gestation period, but in January 2006 the " single market" aspect became a reality while the "single economy" will await further dialogue, deliberations and adjustments among the member states. This new project also recognizes and highlights the modern trends in disputes resolution, the preference for conciliation and alternative disputes resolution rather than litigation. The social and economic history of the Caribbean has been fraught with conflict and confrontation and, as such, the region faces a particularly difficult challenge to use a more cooperative approach to resolving industrial relations problems. hence, the extensive allusions to provisions of the International Labour Organization in regard to social partnerships, social dialogue and social contarcting. [Productivity and competitiveness have also been addressed]. The Industrial Disputes Tribunal and the Industrial Court of Trinidad and Tobago have ben highlighted, for purposes of comparison and contrast. This feature has been complemented by a selection of cases on industrial relations from Barbados, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago, suitably summarized and commented on.[From Preface].
