Multichoice retrenchment update
30 June 2019
The first meeting which was supposed to be the “first consulting” with the Unions according to Multichoice was found to be grossly irregular according to Sec189 and its subsequent sections under sec189 of Labour Relation Act.
The Unions have resoundingly criticized the process leading to the meeting for the following reasons:
1. The letter was devoid of any legal compliance according to Sec189
2. The letter was wholly misleading in that Multichoice said CCMA Commissioner will facilitate the proceedings only to realize that the Commissioner was hired as a private facilitator without consent of Unions.
