Court finds Minister Oliphant to be ‘irrational and unfair’

The Democratic Alliance and labour federations have vowed to write to the President and the International Labour Organisation over Labour Minister Mildred Oliphant's treatment of chemical workers union Ceppwawu. Last week‚ acting labour court Judge Anton Myburgh ruled that labour registrar Johan Crouse be reinstated‚ finding that Oliphant had been “unreasonable‚ alternatively irrational and procedurally unfair” in her decision to remove him from his post earlier this year.
