Labour Court recommends talks on Kromberg And Schubert electrical staffing reduction

In 1997, the Labour Court recommended that Kromberg And Schubert and the Technical, Engineering And Electrical Union discuss options for the employee affected by a proposed reduction of one electrician in the company's electrical maintenance department. The recommendation was signed on 5 September 1997. The company said the department had excess capacity and was not cost-effective; the union disputed this and offered to consider flexibility and redeployment. The Court said it would make a further recommendation if the parties failed to reach an accommodation within two months.
