The Labour Court recommended that a worker’s complaint against Carton Bros Limited be resolved in good faith by accepting a manager’s apology. It also recommended that the company and the Services Industrial Professional Technical Union devise a procedure for similar concerns. The recommendation was signed on 21 May 2012. The union said management treated the worker in an undignified manner over medical certification relating to a suspected contagious illness. Management said it acted in good faith and that the manager had apologised. The Court said the situation could have been handled more sensitively and recommended that the company and union develop a procedure for similar situations.
