BusinessLive reports that the labour ministry says it’s concerned about hostility between staff and management at the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA).  

The CCMA reports to the Labour Department.  Minister Mildred Oliphant and her deputy, Phathekile Holomisa, said they were confident the issues would be speedily resolved by an investigation they had launched into multiple allegations levelled against CCMA director Cameron Morajane and members of his executive committee by the organisation’s staff in Johannesburg.  On Wednesday Business Day reported that CCMA staff had submitted a list of grievances to Holomisa, who had set the wheels in motion for an internal probe.  Dissatisfied workers said their complaints submission had run to dozens of pages.  Among other things, they had complained about wasteful expenditure, pay disparities and purging.
