Public Service Commission to release a report on the investigation into the non-implementation of Arbitration Awards and Labour Related Court Orders by Departments and Implications on Labour Relations
09 October 2017
The Public Service Commission (PSC) will brief members of the
media on its findings and recommendations, following an investigation
on the extent, reasons and impact of non-implementation of arbitration
awards and labour related court orders by Departments at a media
briefing to be held on Thursday, 12 October 2017.
In the execution of its oversight function, the PSC received
enquiries and complaints from employees regarding the non-implementation
of arbitration awards and Labour Court orders by government
departments. The PSC viewed this as a matter of grave concern
because the non-implementation of arbitration awards and Labour
Court orders has serious implications on the management of labour
relations and human resources management and development in general. It
further undermines the Rule of Law and the provision of effective and
efficient service delivery to the citizens of this country, and
frustrates, amongst others, the effectiveness of the courts and
dispute resolution mechanism legislated by Parliament, and impugns
the authority, legitimacy and dignity of the judiciary.
It is against this background that the Public Service Commission
decided to conduct an investigation, with emphasis being placed on
arbitration awards and labour court orders that were issued between
the 2013/14 and 2015/16 financial years.
Media is invited to attend and cover the briefing as follows:
