Manual Workers Union has prevailed in court against seven of its former employees in a lawsuit in which the ex-workers alleged unfair retrenchment, underpayment of accrued leave days, and failure to pay for unexpired contracts.

The union, National Amalgamated Central, Local and Parastatal Manual Workers’ Union, had been dragged before the Industrial Court by the ex-employees following the October 2021 restructuring exercise.

According to court papers, Karabo Ditau Matale, James Dagmore, Keatlaretse Tshenyego, Tshepiso Mpofu, Serwalo Tirelo, Kefilwe Banda, and Kelebogile Kgatlhego wanted the Court to compel their employer to pay them 12 months’ compensation for unfair retrenchment.
