On 19 October 2007 the “International Union of Food, Agricultural, Hotel, Restaurant, Catering, Tobacco and Allied Workers’ Associations” (IUF) wrote...to the UK NCP raising a number of concerns...The IUF’s main allegation was that Hindustan Unilever’s management at the Doom Dooma factory had failed to respect the right of their employees to be represented by a legitimate trade union...Unilever denied all of the allegations made by the IUF. In particular, Unilever submitted that the Hindustan Unilever Democratic Workers Union was created by Doom Dooma’s factory employees who themselves thought the PPF’s actions to be illegal...Following the successful conclusion of the conciliation process by Mr John Mulholland and the agreement reached by the parties, the UK NCP will close the complaint in respect of the Doom Dooma factory. The UK NCP will not carry out an examination of the allegations contained in IUF’s complaint or make a statement as to whether there has been a breach of the Guidelines.
