Parliament to hold hearings on labour brokering

[Dave A]

the key is that with Labour Broking the REAL employer can say I do not like this guy, get rid of him, thus going around the labour relations act

Why do we need a law that forces employers to continue employment of employees they don't "like" in the first place? Inevitably you end up with an unhappy employer and employee. Is this really a good idea?

In 2005 it was calculated that the affiliates of COSATU took out over R35 000 000 per month from Kwa Zulu Natal alone in union fees. What have they shown for such a gain?

Unionism certainly seems to be good, profitable business for unions.

Again the answer to what is a vicious circle, is such is human nature that we need to be controlled. Humans are afterall the only species spending thousands of hours and millions of US Dollars, finding a way to kill ourselves quicker. Unfortunately there are employers who will just get rid of the guy for some insane reason, prejudice, jealousy, bad mood etc, ect - so there has to be some protection from these beings. The converse is true - if there is a good reason then you can get rid of the person, just follow the rules.

Now if I was the employee in that situation, I'd rather be out of there with my notice pay rather than have to resign to get away from the a$$hole.
