Cape Town â The City says it will be appealing a scathing labour-related judgment in favour of an employee found to have been unfairly demoted.
The City was this week slammed for its apparent belief in a âservant and masterâ relationship when it comes to employees, and was ordered to reinstate the unfairly demoted employee and pay him R40 000.
SA Local Government Bargaining Council Commissioner Thuthuzela Ndzombane found the City had committed unfair labour practice in directing a City directorate manager to report to a director as opposed to an executive director, and described the City s consultative process on the changes as a âshamâ.
