Descriptive of the organisation

1. Scope of activities

Social and labour affairs


2. Founding and registration of the organisation

The Barbados Employers' Confederation was formed on 31 July 1956. It was registered as a trade union with a voluntary membership.


3. Historical overview

At the time of its establishment, the Confederation consisted of five member companies and six officers. In the past, the Confederation dealt mainly with labour related matters (e.g. rates of pay and conditions of employment and labour legislation). Today, the range of activities developed by the Confederation has expanded to training, management training, statistical managerial advice and other social affairs. The Confederation is recognized by the Government, the trade unions and international institutions as the most representative of employers in Barbados, dealing with industrial relations matters.

4. Present structure

The Annual General Meeting elects the five Officers of the Confederation: the President, a first Vice-President, a second Vice-President and two Trustees. The Secretariat of the Confederation consists of an Executive Director assisted by three Industrial Relations Officers and a Secretary/Treasurer.

There is a General Committee of Management of the Confederation known as The Council, comprising 15 members: the five Officers of the Confederation, eight representatives of members of Trade Groups, and two representatives of Corporate Bodies.

Trade Groups are established as a requirement of the Constitution, to facilitate orderly and efficient policy-making in the period between Annual General Meetings.

Members are allocated to Trade Groups by Council, according to the type of business and/or trade in which they are engaged. Trade Groups elect their own Officers annually, and meet as often as they deem necessary to discuss topics related to better business practices, industrial relations, e.g. trade union demands, proposed employment legislation, etc...


5. Functions

The Confederation provides members with the following services:

  • Advisory and negotiation services in collective bargaining. The range of these services covers consultation and advice on the formulation of offers of substantive terms and conditions of employment negotiating procedures, strategies and tactics, leadership during negotiations, research and preparations of relevant case material, formalization of records and documentation of agreements reached, including the drafting of Collective Agreements.
  • Technical advisory services, built-up on members' request for
    advice, guidance and information on questions relating to employment
    legislation, personnel policies and procedures, and good industrial
    relations practice.

  • Advice and direct assistance in the settlement of employee-grievances
    and collective disputes involving employer/employee rights under
    collective bargaining agreements.
