Prime Minister, Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama has told the International Labour Organization delegation which is currently in Fiji that the government is implementing reforms to move Fiji forward.
Commodore Bainimarama has told the ILO delegation led by the Deputy Director General, Guy Ryder that the reforms are necessary and that the government has not banned trade unions or taken away workers’ basic rights.
The Prime Minister said some unionists in Fiji are only trying to campaign for the next elections.
Commodore Bainimarama said he has also asked the ILO delegation to speak to the senior management of Air Pacific and the Fiji Sugar Corporation to brief them on what the essential industries in Fiji are currently going through.
The ILO delegation is expected to comment later on whether they will meet with the companies like Air Pacific and FSC.
Meanwhile it has also been confirmed that the Fiji Trades Union Congress and the Fiji Islands Council of Trade Unions also met with the ILO delegation.
