The following are classic examples of not bargaining in good faith.
Surface bargaining is merely going through the motions or bargaining without any real intention of reaching agreement.
Dilatory tactics is where one party refuses to meet and negotiate at reasonable times and intervals.
Imposing conditions – Attempts to impose unreasonable or onerous on the other party indicate bad faith.
Unilateral changes in conditions by an employer is a strong indication that the employer is not interested in negotiating.
Bypassing the representative – An employer that tries to bypass the union and bargain directly with workers or refuses to negotiate with the union is not acting in good faith.
Not providing information – An employer must, upon request, provide information to a union to enable it to understand and intelligently discuss the issues raised in bargaining.[57]作者: 飘飘摇摇 时间: 2014-5-26 12:10:22
Employer bankruptcyWhen an employer goes into bankruptcy the order in which creditors are paid is determined by schedule 7 of the Companies Act 1993 and section 104 of the Insolvency Act 1967. The fees and expenses of the Assignee or Liquidator are paid first. The costs and expenses incurred by the creditor who asked the court to declare the bankruptcy are paid second. Wages, salaries, holiday pay, redundancy, and payments ordered by the Employment Relations Authority or Employment Court, owed to employees are paid third . An employee can only receive a maximum of $15,000. However, when the employee is married to the bankrupt then he or she is paid sixth. Money owed to the IRD for child support, the kiwisaver scheme and the student loan scheme, is also paid third.
†NB the Act itself says "fourth" and "seventh" respectively, but what ever was "third" has been repealed.作者: 爱国爱港 时间: 2014-5-26 12:25:56
