Since there is no law protecting the right to collective bargaining, unions are often not recognised for collective bargaining purposes. Employers bypass unions and bargain directly with individual employees and refuse to provide financial information about the company when they do engage in collective bargaining. For example, the request of union representatives at companies such as New World Bus Corporation and Coca Cola for financial reports has been declined every year. Companies argue that this information is confidential and withhold information that is vital for the bargaining process. Union representatives at the beverage company Vitasoy have been asking management for a meeting for years now without any response.
