| Summary | Read the initial assessment issued by the UK NCP concluding the specific instance - 24 November 2010 In December 2005 the UK NCP received a request for review from an international trade union on behalf of a local union in Bangladesh alleging that a UK-based multinational had breached the employment and industrial relations provisions of the Guidelines in Bangladesh. Specifically the union alleged that the company victimised and unfairly dismissed three union leaders from its factory after they repeatedly asked management for copies of financial statements on the company’s profits. After an initial assessment, the UK NCP concluded that the request did not merit further consideration on the grounds that the allegations were not supported by sufficient evidence. |
