Easing the distrust of unions


THE Labour Law Reform Coalition (LLRC) notes the discontent and anxiety among some trade unions over the government’s intention to implement freedom of association at workplaces, particularly in allowing more than one union at workplaces.

The Trade Union Bill 2022 will be tabled for its second reading in Parliament next month. The proposed deletion of section 12(2), if passed, will remove the director- general’s power to refuse registering a trade union if there is in existence a trade union and he/she is satisfied that it is not in the interest of the workers.
