Ministry of Labour and Social Security Pays Tribute to the Late Charles Jones, former Chairman of the Industrial Disputes Tribunal
The Ministry of Labour and Social Security is deeply saddened by the passing of Mr. Charles Jones, former Chairman of the Industrial Disputes Tribunal. Mr. Jones served the Tribunal in both the capacities of Deputy Chairman and Chairman, for a combined period of nearly twelve years, from November 1, 2009, to August 31, 2021, and presided over the settlement of several landmark cases.
Professionally, he was a committed Jamaican – one who dedicated words and actions to the growth, development and prosperity of this beloved country; one who was passionate about the empowerment of Jamaicans. His unwavering commitment to resolving Labour Disputes with impartiality, integrity, and fairness made him a respected and valued member of the Jamaican Labour Relations Landscape.
He played an instrumental role in the establishment of the Western Division of the IDT and served as the first Chairman of the interim panel for that division.
His pursuit of fairness and justice has left an indelible mark on the Industrial Disputes Tribunal. His professionalism, dedication and jovial personality will be remembered and treasured by the team at the IDT and the wider Ministry.
The Ministry of Labour & Social Security and the Industrial Disputes Tribunal extend heartfelt condolences to the widow, family and friends of the late Mr. Charles Jones.
