The department accuses AMCU of not complying with its own constitution.
The National Union of Mineworkers said on Friday it was shocked and dismayed by the department of labour’s intention to deregister the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union .
Numsa national spokesperson Phakamile Hlubi- Majola said: “We … reject – with the contempt it deserves – that a democratic government, instead of working with the unions to overcome whatever challenges that confront AMCU, its first stated intention is to come out guns blazing, making its intention clear that it wants to deregister the union.
Numsa said the “no-nonsense” attitude adopted by the labour department against trade unions should also be applied against employers who it said were “union bashers”.
