In a spectacular turn of events and a confirmation of our position, the South African Local Government Bargaining Council dismissed the case of City of Johannesburg employees, whose fixed-term contracts were illegally converted to permanent by the erstwhile Mayoral Committee.
The Bargaining Council’s decision means that the interdict of the Labour Court falls away. Therefore, the City will proceed with the regularisation of contracts that will lapse at the end of this month.
The ruling by the Bargaining Council is a victory for good governance, service delivery and the fight against corrupt practices in the city.
As difficult of a process this might be for the affected employees, the Johannesburg Multi-Party Government will always remain committed to upholding the rule of law, a cornerstone of our Constitutional Democracy.
