The Employers’ Consultative Association of Trinidad and Tobago (ECA TT) has called for stronger, more structured social dialogue in its Labour Day 2026 message, urging that national consultation mechanisms be translated into measurable policy outcomes rather than remain at the level of principle alone.
The statement said recent discussions at the 114th Session of the International Labour Conference reinforced the importance of tripartism among governments, employers and workers, emphasising that social dialogue should be judged by practical results including trust, balanced policies and improved labour market outcomes.
ECA TT warned that Trinidad and Tobago faces multiple pressures including crime, skills mismatches, informality and rapid technological change, all of which are affecting productivity, investment confidence and workforce development across sectors.
