Okay my CCMA conciliation was this morning, the company representative came very unprepared but never the less we continued. On one stage myself and the company representative were left alone to discuss a settlement, he told me a very interesting thing that i was totally unaware of. He said if we dont settle today, there will be another hearing called Nova or something where everything is scrapped, evidence and testimonies then they do everything over from scratch with new witnesses and testimonies? Can this be true or not?
I refused the settlement of R 5000 and a fresh and clear reference which is a bit of an insult.
At a stage i spent time discussing the settlement alone with the Commissioner and in a way he tried to convince me not to proceed and walk away. Does anyone have an idea on what i should do further? I really need your advice here.
