SI National Union of Workers v Rennell and Bellona Province [2008] SBTDP 6; L9.1.2008 (1 January 2008)

IN THE TRADE DISPUTES PANEL
SOLOMON ISLANDS


Case No. L9/1/2008


BETWEEN


S. I. National Union of Workers
Applicant


AND


Rennell and Bellona Province
Respondent


FINDING


Upon hearing from Mr. Tony Kagovai for the applicant and having considered the result of the secret ballot, the Panel refuses to grant recognition as sought by the union.


In order to grant recognition, the union must have the majority support of the employees and this must be taken from the total work force of the employer and not from the union's paid up members.


Accordingly, recognition as sought by the union is refused.


On behalf of the Panel


CHAIRMAN
TRADE DISPUTES PANEL
