We are pleased to report that on 14 February 2019 the first meeting at the Office National de Conciliation (ONC) took place.
After both parties presented their case, the ONC has acknowledged the impasse between the Unions and management. The ONC is now officially involved. What this means in practical terms is that both parties will schedule further negotiation meetings and to keep the ONC informed of the progress. The law foresees a minimum of 16 weeks of dialogue before either party could request a “non-conciliation”.
Perhaps management will from this point forward put all the required resources and effort into finding an agreeable solution for all issues and to achieve true social sustainability.
