Labour Court recommends Janssen recognise union’s negotiating rights

In 1991, the Labour Court recommended that Janssen Pharmaceutical Limited recognise Manufacturing Science Finance’s right to negotiate for its members. The recommendation was signed on 3 September 1991. The company had declined to meet the union, which represented seven sales representatives, saying it did not want to recognise a fifth union in a workforce of fewer than 90. The Court found no existing agreement gave any union sole negotiating rights.
