News24 reports that Parliament has expressed shock and dismay at reports that its protection officers are taking the institution to court.
The legal challenge was unwarranted action that bordered on irresponsibility on the part of the union and officials involved, the institution said in a statement on Wednesday. This followed a City Press report that 69 protection officers had taken the legislature to the Labour Court for unfair discrimination after Parliament speedily recruited officers from the SA Police Service in July 2015 to become part of its protection services to enforce a new rule which provided for disruptive MPs to be forcefully removed from the House. Parliament on Wednesday said all due administrative processes were undertaken before the appointments were made.
