The recognition issue between the Management of Bank of Nova Scotia Limited Limited and the National Workers Union (NWU) will have to be settled through a Secret Ballot Poll. This procedure is in keeping with the Labour Act of 2006. The Department of Labour summoned the parties to a Pre Poll Meeting this coming week. During the industrial conversation, the parties will agree on a date, time and venue for the holding of the Secret Ballot Poll. All other logistical arrangements will be put in place. The completion of this process will signal the resolution of the matter one way or another.
