Jamaica - Few unions and de-recognition of existing ones (2011)

It is estimated that 20% of workers belong to a union. In some companies, where a union already exists, managers have tried to get their recognition withdrawn. In the private sector, they have a tendency to dismiss unionised workers and then subsequently re-employ them on short-term contracts with lower benefits.
