ABOUT US
The Labour Relations Act provides for the
self-regulation of Industries through the medium of Bargaining
Councils. NBCEI is a Bargaining
Council as envisaged in the Act whose mission is to create and
maintain industrial peace and stability in the Electrical
Industry. It provides the following services
-
Forum and
facilities for Collective Bargaining,
-
Settlement
of Labour Disputes,
-
Provision of Social Benefits for the
upliftment of all persons falling within the Industry, i.e.
Pension, Provident, Leave Pay Fund and
Sick Pay Fund
NBCEI consists
of representatives from
both
Employers’ and Employees’ Organisations and has equal representation from both groups.
The
Agreements negotiated
are, where necessary,
extended
by the State to
include the entire
Electrical
Industry once satisfied that
the Parties
to the Council are in the majority. It is for this reason that
all
Employers and
Employees
falling within the
Electrical
Industry
resort under the
jurisdiction of NBCEI.
As Bargaining
Councils are not funded by the State, all Employers and
their
Employees pay a
Council
levy for the funding of the Council.
