Engineering News reports that the Federation of Unions of SA (Fedusa) is taking a stand against government’s alleged failure to appoint “suitably qualified, accountable, responsible and responsive” management at some of SA’s vital parastatals.
A notice of intended protest action under Section 77 of the Labour Relations Act has been lodged with the National Economic Development and Labour Council (Nedlac) to compel the State-owned enterprises (SoEs) concerned to undergo an independent forensic audit of all board and procurement activities over the past five years and open unhindered access for recognised unions to internal and external audit reports of the past three financial years. Protest action, including stayaways and go-slows, will be the order of the day at the targeted SoEs, which include SAA, Eskom, Denel and the SABC, pending the appointment of an independent forensic auditor within three months, said Fedusa’s Dennis George on Monday.
