Minister of Labour and the Public Service the Hon. Pia Glover-Rolle said, in the Department of Labour’s steps towards expanding access to public services through technology, four additional services will be available on the government's online 'MyGateway' Platform.  

“These services are designed to streamline operations, enhance efficiency and most importantly, augment accessibility for trade unions and their members,” Minister Glover-Rolle said at a ceremony to introduce the MyGateway services at the National Training Agency on Monday, March 4, 2024.

MyGateway is the centralized, secure way to request and pay for a range of online services from the Government of The Bahamas.

The four new services include: trade union registrations, transfers of trade union licenses, trade union document requests, and reports of trade disputes.

This means that interested stakeholders will be able to complete four labour services online, eliminating the need to fill out paper forms.

The Minister explained that this Administration stands behind its commitment to utilize technology for the benefit of all people, and is focused on ushering in a new era of interaction between the Department of Labour and the communities it is honoured to serve.

“Today, we are making it as convenient as possible for our trade unions to initiate these vital processes.  Our ultimate goal is to make our services more accessible and universally available ensuring that our stakeholders’ needs are met.”

Staff from the Digital Transformation Unit gave a brief summary of the expanded services as well as answered any questions.
