Dear Brothers / Sisters,

RE: SALARY REVIEW PERIOD 1ST JANUARY 2010 TO 31ST  DECEMBER 2011

This is in response to several complaints and enquiries I have continued to receive on the above matter. Following is the correct position on what we have done and continue to do as to achieve the best we can for you.

1. After we entered disagreement with PCK, we moved to Industrial Court so as to get an award as provided for under the laws of the land.
2. Unfortunately the employer has made effort to block our progress by bringing legal interpretations to deliberately delay the court progress.
3. The two cases are done for hearing on the 18th and 24th October 2011 and we are hopeful the results will soon be known. We are however exploiting alternative action we may take to get you your rights.

We will come back to you as soon as we are ready for the action. Kindly watch this space in the meantime we thank all of you for your patience and the efforts you have continued to make to sustain the corporations business.

Dear Brothers / Sisters,

RE: ON GOING C.B.A. NEGOTIATIONS

We are aware that you have been following the progress being made on the above matter. This is therefore to update you on the current position and progress so far made on the same. Several meetings have been done and progress made. We have agreed on all items except two namely:

1. Redundancy and severance payment.
2. Salary.

The following is the position of each party.

1. REDUNDANCY
Union demands that a severance pay of 2 months (60 days) salary for each completed years of service be paid on Redundancy or retrenchment. The Management insists on payment of 16 days for each year of completed service.

2. SALARIES
The issue on salaries is ongoing and the Management have made some proposals which we are considering and we are soon meeting you for discussion so that we get your consideration before appending our signatures. Our next meeting is on 12th October 2011.
