How have courts in Trinidad and Tobago interpreted freedom of association provisions in trade union legislation?
Alberta, Canada
The following excerpt is from Budge v. Alberta (Workers' Compensation Board), 1984 CanLII 1306 (AB QB):
In the case of Collymore v. A-G. Trinidad & Tobago, [1970] A.C. 538, it was held that a statute which abridged the right of trade unions to engage in collective bargaining and effectively abolished the right to strike did not infringe a constitutional guarantee of “freedom of association”. The court believed that as long as individuals could still form and belong to trade unions, there was no interference with freedom of association.
