Technical and clerical workers employed with St. Clair Associates Inc and Best Buy Ltd have become members of the National Workers Union.

The NWU has since submitted two recognition claims to the Ministry of Labour requesting trade union representation as the exclusive bargaining representatives for both groups of workers.

It is expected that the Ministry of Labour will first undertake a certification exercise, after which the NWU and officials from both companies will be summoned to a procedural meeting.

It is anticipated that this industrial matter would be resolved within a reasonable period of time.
