| Decision |
In this case, the Labour Appellate Tribunal determined that the Rehmania Textile Silk Mills Labour Union had lost its status as a Collective Bargaining Agent due to a referendum held during the pendency of the appeal. The Tribunal ruled that the new Collective Bargaining Agent, represented by Gulzar Ahmad, should be substituted in place of the old Union. The old Union was found to have no right to represent the workers, and the Tribunal emphasized the importance of recognizing the new Union's role in representing workers' interests. The decision reinforces the legal framework governing industrial relations, particularly the rights of workers and the operational dynamics of Collective Bargaining Agents under the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969. |
