PNGTUC Assistant General Secretary, Anton Sekum said there is no provision in the Industrial Organization Act that requires the Industrial Registrar’s prior consent for a sit-in protest to go ahead.
“A sit-in protest can happen any time except for strike actions which will require the Industrial Registrar to oversee the conduct of the secret ballot.
“Quick fact checks by the DPM Secretary, Tais Sansan and media reports on her misleading headline about the legality of the Nurses sit-in process would have done all parties justice.
