POPCRU *POPCRU Media Statement, 26 August 2010* *POPCRU court victory over SAPS and DCS * /Employer's Case at the Labour Court dismissed in POPCRU's favour/The Labour Court has dismissed a case by SAPS and DCS to interdict our members.
We had noted that at around 23h30 on 25th August 2010 the employer; herein referred to as SAPS and DCS had secured an interim court order to interdict all our members from participating in the current national public service march as are taking place across the country led by COSATU. Our Legal Team appealed the interim order.
We argued that we agree that some of our members as employed under the Correctional Service Act and Police Act are not allowed to strike and that our Non-Essential members as employed under the Public Service Act are allowed to strike as per the 2007 Court Order.
The employer argued that their case is based on the statement as released by POPCRU on the 25th August 2010 and as per some media reports and the Labour Court argued that there is insufficient information to declare an order in the favour of Department of Correctional Services.
The case was dismissed by the Labour Court. *Issued by: * *Norman Mampane* *National Spokesperson* *Tel: 0112424600/4615* *Cell: 0720737959* *Fax: 0866253054* *Email: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>* *01 Marie Road * *Auckland Park* *2006* -- You are subscribed.
