<o:p></o:p>The National Labour Commission received a letter from the
Complainant on the 25th day of June 2012
complaining of “an illegal strike" embarked upon by workers of the company
which it said was against
the grievance procedures in their Collective Agreement and called on the
Commission to intervene to return sanity to the workplace. <o:p></o:p>On the following day, 26th June, 2012, Complainant lodged
another letter with the Commission complaining of escalation of unrest at the work
place which necessitated the intervention of armed Police to restore order. <o:p></o:p>The Commission by a writ of subpoena issued on the 26th
of June 2012, commanded the Parties to attend a hearing of the matter on the
27th of June 2012. <o:p></o:p>When the Parties appeared before the Commission on the 27th of June 2012, they asked to be
allowed to meet on their own to resolve issue. <o:p></o:p>
