This paper seeks to examine the renewal of the Caribbean Public Sector trade unions (CPSU), and make a number of recommendations as it regards the capacity building and institutional strengthening of these unions. The paper begins with an introduction that lays the foundation for the discussion of capacity building for CPSU. It continues with a socio-historical background to the current difficulties facing the CPSU, and continues with an examination of a number of regional concerns for the CPSU. Based on the Regional concerns identified and the fact that CPSU need to step out of their traditional role of representation and, in addition, become concerned with national issues, the paper concludes with a number of recommendations for the way forward for the CPSU.
