</div>We refer to the parties' appearance before the National
Labour Commission on 14th December, 2022 in respect of the above mentioned
dispute. Tl1e Branch Union Executives, Complainants, were led by the Deputy
General Secretary of the Union and the Regional Officer of the Union in the Western
Region. The Respondent was represented by Counsel
who said the management staff were currently
out of the jurisdiction.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Commission<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;The Commission questioned the capacity of the
authors of the "petition" as Local Union Executives with respect to
Collective Bargaining. The National Union explained that on matters of
unionization, it is the National Union that holds the Collective Bargaining
Certificate to represent the workers, and so it was erroneous for the Branch
Union Executives to call for an industrial action. The Union apologized for the
Local Union Executives' action.<o:p></o:p>&nbsp;Decision<o:p></o:p>The Commission
decides that the matter is not
properly placed before it for
settlement or determination and hereby dismisses the complaint filed by the Branch Union Executives of the Respondent
Company. <o:p></o:p>The parties are however advised
to engage to resolve the issues and with the proper representation of all the parties.<o:p></o:p>
