Victory for Numsa as fuel sector deemed non-essential service
The fuel industry had approached by the Essential Services Committee (ESC) of the CCMA, seeking to have the fuel sector declared an essential service, but Numsa challenged this
The petroleum industry had approached the ESC, seeking to be declared an essential service. However workers’ unions were concerned that such a finding would have not allowed them to strike, should they ever feel the need to. The application was made by the South African Petroleum Industry Association (SAPIA) and the Fuel Retailers Association (FRA).
Numsa then made submissions to the ESC, opposing the application, on the basis that the right to strike is a fundamental right which is protected by the constitution.
