Judgment text as reported

Hafiz ASMATULLAH VS CEO, QESCO, ZARGHOON ROAD, QUETTA S. 31---Managerial decisions by employer---Unfair labour practices---Scope---National Industrial Relations Commission, jurisdiction of---Scope---Petitioners being employees of Quetta Electrical Supply Company / QESCO invoked S.31 of the Industrial Relations Act, 2012, alleging that the respondents / QESCO had committed gross unfair labour practices by unilaterally scrapping the decades-old binding "Commercial Procedure" and imposing an entirely new feeder-wise duty system at the behest of a retired officer, and with the active connivance of the Hydro Union---Validity---The allegation of involvement of a outsider (retired officer) or "connivance" of the Hydro Union remained unsubstantiated and hearsay---Even if aretired officer or a Collective Bargaining Agent / office-bearer gave suggestions, it did not convert a lawful administrative decision into an unfair labour practice---Petitioners' grievance that high-loss feeders had been allotted to non-favoured employees was essentially an allegation of discriminatory treatment---However, no individual petitioner had come forward with specific evidence that he had been singled out for adverse treatment because of his non-affiliation with the CBA or due to trade union rivalry---General and vague allegations of discrimination do not satisfy the threshold required to invoke S.31 of the IRA, 2012---No unfair labour practice within the meaning of the Industrial Relations Act, 2012 had been made out---Petition under S.31 of the Industrial Relations Act, 2012, being non- maintainable and merit-less, was dismissed, in circumstances.
