' This is an application under section 22-EE of the Industrial Relations Ordinance, 1969 for determination of one Collective Bargaining Unit (CBU) in the Establishment known as Three Stars Hosiery Mills (Pvt.) Limited, Multan.
2. All the respondents were served with notices of this application. All the respondents have filed their written statements in this Court contending therein that they have got no objection for the determination of one Collective Bargaining Unit (CBU) in the entire establishment. None of the respondents have objected the application in any manner.
3. I have examined the record of the case. There are Stars Hosiery (Pvt.) Limited having different number of workmen employed. The detail is given as under:-- S.No.Name of EstablishmentApproximate number of workmen employed 1.Three Stars Hosiery Mills (Pvt.) Limited, Plot No. 58, Kotlakhpat; Lahore.137 2.Three Stars Hosiery Mills (Pvt.) Limited, 10-A, Industrial Estate; Multan211 3.Three Stars Hosiery Mills (Pvt.) Limited, Hasan Parwana Colony, Multan153 4.Three Stars Hosiery Mills (Pvt.) Limited, Milat Road, Faisalabad123 5.Three Stars Hosiery Mills (Pvt.) RCD Road, Karachi 67 Total: 691 The total number of employees of the establishment comes to 691 but as admitted by all the respondents there is no other registered union in the five different units of the establishment. The interest of workmen employed in the Establishment belonging to the same employer and the same Industry is the same and it is necessary just and feasible to determine all the five different units including all the employees as one Establishment. Specifically when none of the respondents have objected to determination of one Collective Bargaining Unit, therefore, I feel no hesitation in declaring and in determination of 5 Units'of the petitioners establishment as one CBU. There shall be a determination of CBA in the CBU after the expiry of the term of the CBA ship of respondents are directed to amend their constitution in accordance with the orders of this Court and get themselves registered with Commission and open their membership to all the workmen employed in the establishment. A time: period of two months is granted to the locally registered trade unions to get themselves registered with the National Industrial Relations Commission (NIRC). This order shall remain in force for a period of five years, if not changed before in accordance with the provisions of law, from the date of passing of this order after which fresh application should be made if material circumstances are changed. Fresh applications for holding the secret Ballot under section 22 of the IRO, 1969 would not be entertained within a period of two months of the date of passing this order.
