Parley disputes Labour awards to ex-Davids� employee

The clerk of the National Assembly Barbara Dithapo says the arbitrator, Sam Leero was irrational when he awarded Petrus Tau P580,000 as compensation for unfair dismissal.

Tau was fired as the senior administration officer/researcher at the Member of Parliament Isaac Davids’ Mochudi East constituency office in December 2016. He has been in the position since December 2014, until Dithapo dismissed him when his relationship with Davids had allegedly broken down irreparably.

The matter underwent labour processes before the arbitrator ruled in favour of the dismissed Tau, prompting the clerk to approach the Industrial Court to review the award.
