The Suva Transport Union Claims

The Suva Transport Union (STU) enters into a contract with the State Transportation Authority of Fiji (STA). The agreement requires the STA to pay a yearly bonus to all of its STU members. However, a year after signing the contract, STA refuses to pay the annual compensation, which triggers a conflict between the STU and the STA. As a HR consultant, you have been requested by the ministry of labour to intervene and resolve the conflict between the two parties. Accordingly, the ministry requires you to submit a preliminary written report of your proposed course of action by this week.

ii) potential third party avenues and strategies at your disposal to resolve such conflicts [8 marks]

iii) the third part of your report is titled union-management cooperation(U-MC).
