| Summary | In May 2006 the US NCP received a request for a review from a trade union alleging a multinational enterprise had breached the employment and industrial relations provisions of the Guidelines due to claims of sexual harassment. The US NCP transferred the specific instance to the Polish NCP as the claims occurred in Poland. The Polish NCP met with the parties however parallel legal proceedings were already underway. The court reached the verdict that the managers were not guilty of sexual harassment but they had breached the regulations of the employment and industrial relations chapter of the Guidelines. After this verdict, in 2008, the specific instance was concluded. |
