Conciliation which was the only compulsory Disputes handling method I experienced was a result of disagreements on:-
1. Redundancy exercise.
2. Inconclusive Procedural Agreement Negotiation.
3. Management's Refusal to pay thirteenth month ( Christmas Bonus) salary.
While it was the Unions that declared trades disputes against us in Nos. 1 - 2, I declared a trades disputes against the Union in the case of Number 3 above.
The result of these three trades disputes that went for Conciliation that the Unions lost all to Managements.
One beautiful thing established was that you do not necessarily need a Lawyer in Conciliation.
Next week, we shall share our experience as regards the inconclusive Procedural Agreement Negotiation.
