Case NHK 13/2/118 Industrial Court (1987-1988) (6 files).
In this matter the LRC represented 12 workers who had been dismissed from a one-man earth-moving operation. The matter was referred by the Construction and Allied Workers Union. The members had been trying for some time to negotiate better working conditions. One Monday they did not report for work but went to the Union offices to try to speed up the process. As a result they were dismissed. The Union attempted to negotiate with the employer but to no avail. They thus approached the LRC. When negotiations failed a section 43 application for temporary reinstatement was successfully launched. Then a section 46 application was launched for a final order. The matter was settled with the employees each receiving around R1000-00 in compensation.
