Labour Court recommends Bausch & Lomb keep management job assessment scheme

The Labour Court recommended that Bausch & Lomb retain its management job assessment scheme and consider providing the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union with better filing-cabinet storage. The recommendation was dated 4 October 2004. The union had sought the return of a joint job evaluation scheme and a fully equipped office for union business. The Court said management assessment had worked successfully for about ten years and had become established practice. It also found the existing union facilities met the relevant code of practice, while recommending that the company discuss more suitable storage with the union.
