You mentioned "as spelt out in our Constitution". May I have reference for it?
For your information, standard for fine chemical industry on expense on manpower is 3 to 5% of sales turnover while ours is over 12%. We explained this to union and labour commissioner along with supporting industry data, however union is not concerned..... they are sticking to their stand and continuing the strike for annual increase of wages.
In such background, we have recruited new employees and running the plant. Now these new employees have become permanent by virtue of their service period.
Now my questions are :
1. Can we recruit new employees to run plant if existing employees are on strike?
2. If union don't agree with industry standard of 5% wages of sales, what options do we have?
3. If now new recruited have become permanent, whom we dismiss after strike is withdrawn after negotiation?
4. Will you please give reference to constitution for fair increase in wages to improve living standard of workers?
Your replies on above specific question, one by one, shall be highly appreciated.
Thanks
