CARICOM <\/a><\/strong>Ministers of Labour have agreed to a harmonised and sustained approach to matters related to labour that impact the free movement of people within the Community.
\u00a0
This was the consensus at the Thirty-fourth Special Meeting of the Council for Human and Social Development (COHSOD) Labour held on 8 April in Georgetown, Guyana, under the chairmanship of Sen. the Hon. Claudette Joseph, Attorney General and Minister for Legal Affairs, Labour and Consumer Affairs, Grenada. CARICOM <\/a><\/strong>Ministers responsible for labour, technical officers, and stakeholders in the Region\u2019s labour sector participated.

Participants took advantage of the opportunity to agree on a unified position on critical issues surrounding labour in the Community ahead of the International Labour Conference (ILC), slated for 2 \u2013 13 June 2025.


CARICOM Ministers responsible for labour in discussions during COHSOD Labour\u00a0<\/em>

These discussions are happening during a crucial period of implementation of the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME). In her remarks, CARICOM Secretary-General Dr Carla Barnett noted that most Member States had signed the Protocol on Enhanced Cooperation.\u201cThis means that those countries that are ready to move forward with free movement will be able to do so. If everybody wants to move forward together simultaneously, that would be the most desirable of all the options,\u201d stated Dr Barnett.
\u00a0
She added, \u201cWe look forward to the decisions of this meeting to guide us at the Secretariat on how we can help to ensure that the views of Labour Ministers \u2013 the positions with respect to labour in the Community \u2013 are properly supported.\u201d<\/em>

The Chair also highlighted the importance of the discussion by Ministers on free movement, noting that CARICOM Heads had set a deadline for implementation of free movement and that the Region was close to achieving ratification of the Protocol.
\u00a0
\u201cWe discussed the question of the free movement of people. CARICOM had set a deadline to implement free movement. We are very close to having ratification of the protocol that was developed,\u201d stated the Chair.<\/em>
\u00a0
CARICOM Heads of Government adopted the Protocol on Enhanced Cooperation at the Thirty-Third Inter-Sessional Meeting held in March 2022 in Belize. It aims to facilitate deeper regional cooperation and integration among groups of countries, even if not all countries are ready to participate.
\u00a0
Listen to the Chair\u2019s comments below.

<\/a><\/strong><\/em>CARICOM\u2019s Assistant Secretary-General, CARICOM Single Market and Trade, Ambassador Wayne McCook, highlighted the significance of the progress being made by labour ministers on the Labour Market Information System (LMIS). He noted that this development was crucial to advancing the free movement of skills across the Region.
\u00a0
\u201cProgress with that will help not just ministers of labour, but the Community as a whole to look at the way forward in terms of the free movement of skills across the Region,\u201d stated the ASG.<\/em>
\u00a0
Ambassador McCook explains the significance of the LMIS to CSME below.

<\/a><\/strong><\/em>

\u201cOur approach to how we treat with labour would impact how our people move,\u201d underscored CARICOM Secretariat\u2019s Director for CARICOM Single Market, Leo Preville. He shared his anticipation for consensus from labour ministers on a structured and sustained approach to engagement on labour issues in Member States.
\u00a0
\u201cSo as we go forward \u2013 even this first time we\u2019re meeting in preparation for the ILC \u2013 will not be a one-off. It becomes a norm. It becomes the way we do business in the Community. It becomes how we inform ourselves of our positions in the wider Latin American Caribbean group in a coordinated manner. And all of those things eventually lead to the implementation of the CSME,\u201d asserted the Director.The Director provides additional insight below.

<\/a><\/strong><\/em>

COHSOD promotes human and social development. Specifically, Article 17 of the\u00a0Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0states that the Council, which consists of Ministers designated by the Member States, will promote and develop co-ordinated policies and programmes to improve the living and working conditions of workers and take appropriate measures to facilitate the organisation and development of harmonious labour and industrial relations in the Community.
About CARICOM:<\/strong>
The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) was established on 4 July\u00a01973 with the signing of the Treaty of Chaguaramas, which was revised in 2001 to allow for the establishment of a single market and economy. The Community comprises fifteen Member States and six Associate Members. It is home to approximately sixteen million citizens, 60% of whom\u00a0are under 30 years old. CARICOM rests on four main pillars: economic integration; foreign policy coordination; human and social development;\u00a0and security cooperation.\u00a0 Through the combined efforts to build a \u201cCommunity for All\u201d,<\/em>\u00a0it remains one of the best examples of integration in the developing world and is the oldest surviving integration movement.
The CARICOM Secretariat, the principal administrative organ of the Community, is headquartered in Georgetown, Guyana.<\/td><\/tr>
