&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The management of Ameen Sangari decided
to undertake a redundancy exercise
due to financial problems being faced by the company.
It duly informed
the Industrial and Commercial Workers Union (ICU) which holds the
Bargaining Certificate for most of
the workers of the company. After several meetings to try and agree on a redundancy package, the parties
could not come to an agreement.
They therefore decided to have the matter referred to the National Labour Commission (NLC) for
resolution. The NLC referred
the parties to Voluntary Arbitration with the above-named as the panel of
arbitrators to handle the dispute between the parties.<o:p></o:p>
