The registrar has painted a bleak picture of the state of employers’ associations and bargaining councils, saying that even they are not immune.
JOHANNESBURG - Labour Registrar Advocate Lehlohonolo Molefe says that infighting and poor financial controls remain the greatest threat to trade unions.
The registrar regulates labour related organisations in the country in accordance with the Labour Relations Act. The country’s trade union movement is worth billions of rand and has accumulated even more wealth through the establishment of investment companies.“At the core for me, is for everyone to have control over the union, the finances of the union and how it is run. There is just self-interest.”
