Bosasa employees return to work following panic over liquidator's letter | ntwaagae

A group of staffers who were planning to protest outside African Global Operations offices on Tuesday morning have returned to work after being addressed by the company and their labour union.Around 08:30, a large crowd of workers stood outside the company premises in Luipaardsvlei, Krugersdorp, discussing a way forward.

Financial Sector and Allied Workers Union chairperson Onkabetse Moagi told News24 that he had called on the workers to remain calm and return to their posts.In it, Murray informed employees that the company had been placed under voluntary liquidation since February 14. It further read that the legal effect of this suspension would be that employees would not be required to render services in terms of their employment contracts.

"All contracts of service not already terminated shall, unless the liquidators and the employees have agreed on continued employment, automatically terminate 45 days after the appointment of the final liquidators," said the letter. "We are also shocked that the company issued letters to employees, without consulting us as the union. Last week, Murray promised that he will communicate with every union before any decision is taken," said Moagi.
