Good day to all members of the media and the listening public.
As announced in November 2020, Bermuda’s Labour Code, which consists of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 2021 and the Employment Amendment (No2) Act 2021, will come into force on 1 June 2021. It will bring Bermuda in line with international best practices by strengthening the rights and obligations of employers and employees in Bermuda’s labour force, modernising and clarifying areas of the existing legislation, and revising the labour dispute mechanisms in Bermuda.
