The General Workers’ Union has registered another trade dispute with the British High Commission over its employment of new part-time workers instead of former full-time employees who were made redundant.

“This act by the British High Commission goes against the Employment and Industrial Relations Act that clearly stipulates redundant workers are to be called back into employment if new posts are available. The High Commission did not call back any of these employees,” the GWU said.

The Professionals, Finance and Services Section of the GWU will be submitting the case before the Industrial Tribunal.

Over recent weeks the GWU has been involved in several trade disputes with the British High Commission, most of which were submitted to the Industrial Tribunal.
