INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS ACTS, 1946 TO 1990
SECTION 20(1), INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS ACT, 1969
PARTIES:
R & J WILSON - WRIGHT
AND
MANUFACTURING SCIENCE FINANCE
SUBJECT:
1. Dispute concerning procedure machinery and conditions of
employment.
BACKGROUND:
2. 1. In October, 1993, the Labour Court issued recommendation
LCR No. 14234 in which it recommended that the employer
accepts the employee's right to join the Union and that the
Union be afforded the facility of representing the employee
in all matters concerning wages and conditions of employment.
2. In the period following the Labour Court hearing the
Union wrote to management requesting a meeting to discuss the
pay and conditions of employment for the worker concerned.
Management refused to meet the Union. The Union claims that
management have not complied with LCR No. 14234.
3. The Union referred the matter to the Labour Court under
Section 20(1) of the Industrial Relations Act, 1969 and
agreed to be bound by the Court's recommendation. A Labour
Court hearing took place on 18th January, 1994. Prior to the
Court hearing the employer informed the Court that they would
not be represented at the hearing.
UNION'S ARGUMENTS:
3. 1. In the interests of good staff relations management
should comply with LCR No. 14234 and grant the Union
recognition to enable it to represent the worker concerned in
accordance with normal procedures.
RECOMMENDATION:
The Court has considered the submission from the Union and noted
that the Employer's representative indicated that he would not
attend the hearing. The Court is satisfied that the
Union has endeavoured to have the terms of LCR No. 14234
implemented and has complied with procedures in seeking to reach
an amicable solution to this dispute.
The Court accordingly recommends that both parties meet to
negotiate a resolution to the dispute.
