NEASA has launched an urgent application at the Labour Court to prevent the MEIBC from making a lawful submission to the Minister of Labour to extend the Main Collective Agreement.
We believe that NEASA has very little prospects of success and is attempting to subvert the powers provided to the Minister of Labour to consider such applications.
We have every confidence in the Minister of Labour and the courts to make decisions that are sound and fair.
In the event that the agreement is extended, any party and non-party bound by the agreement will be given sufficient and far opportunity to apply for an exemption. This process is legitimate and will ensure that no person or party is prejudiced.
