MINISTER'S RESPONSE
(2) No; because there was no compelling reason for Registrar of Labour Relations to take any remedial action by approaching the court to enforce the Labour Court order handed down on 9 October 2015 against the leadership of the Chemical, Energy, Paper, Printing, Wood and Allied Workers’ Union for allegedly failing to table full, legally audited financial statements and minutes showing the adoption of such financial statements. Therefore there is no legal reason for me to take any steps against the Registrar of Labour Relations.
