Why you should attend:
Prior to the NBCEI (SA) obtaining registration throughout the RSA, employers in those areas which fell outside of the Bargaining Council jurisdiction were bound by the provisions of the BCEA 1997. As of July 2013 all employers & employees in the Electrical Industry are bound by the terms & conditions of the said Bargaining Council Main Collective Agreement.

Every single contractor should attend this Collective Bargaining seminar as it directly impacts on your business.

I think I will attend.
Anyone got an electrician hat to lend me?

[Dave A]

I've already got a commitment in Pretoria from 19 - 21 August, so I'll have you attend as representative of my company to the Durban one, if you're interested Anthony. Given your area of expertise, it's an easy case to argue for, (Company's labour lawyer - that'll shake up the roost ) and I'd certainly value any feedback you could give as a result.

I have already arranged to go to the one in Port Shepstone instead for a first hand peek at proceedings, but it shouldn't pose any problems - I'll just be there as a supportive member of Exco if anyone has any gripes about it (which I doubt, particularly as Labour is part of my portflio).

And it's not like there's going to be any voting.

Is there a reason they're avoiding CT?

[Dave A]

This round has already been run in CT, and pretty much the rest of the country apparently.

Maybe someone who attended the CT meeting can give feedback here.
