Fin24 reports that the leadership of the National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa) is set to hold a special central committee (SCC) meeting in Cape Town on Tuesday after the Labour Court in Johannesburg interdicted the union's national congress from taking place this week.
According to a notice to the union's national office bearers, Numsa general secretary Irvin Jim will address the meeting. The court also declared the suspension of the second deputy president Ruth Ntlokotse and 30 other union officials "unconstitutional, invalid, and unenforceable in law". Ntlokotse had told the Labour Court in an urgent application that she was suspended as a way of sidelining her from participating in the conference and running for the position of Numsa president. The national congress that was meant to begin on Monday would have been the first congress of its kind for the union since December of 2016. Numsa is the largest private sector union in the country with over 338,000 members.
