6.14 LABOUR AND INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS<br />
Our Administration has made industrial relations a priority. We have<br />
demonstrated this by upgrading the Department of Labour to a full<br />
fledged ministry and staffing it.<br />
The priorities this year are:<br />
Review of Legislation<br />
The Ministry with all social partners will lead a comprehensive<br />
review of Labour Legislation including the Labour Code. Work has<br />
already commenced on the Code and it is expected that it will be<br />
amended in 2012.<br />
New Minimum Wage<br />
The review of the Minimum Wage was completed last year. The new<br />
Minimum Wages provides for increases in wages for thirteen (13)<br />
categories of workers.<br />
After additional consultation, it was agreed that the $4.00 increase<br />
per hour for Security Guards will be implemented over a two year<br />
period commencing with a $2.00 increase this year.<br />
