The National
Education, Health and Allied Workers' Union said on Wednesday it is still to
consult its legal team about the future of its three shop-stewards.
The Commission
for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration upheld the sacking of the three and
ordered that five others be reinstated by the Robben Island Museum.
They were fired
in April after they were found guilty of misconduct by a disciplinary committee
following a protest last year.
Over 100 staff
members went on strike demanding a pay hike of R3,500 as well as some time off
in December last year.
Police had to be called in when the striking
workers disrupted operations at the museum by invading a ferry and protested in
front of the CEO's office.
Nehawu's
Luthando Nogcinisa said, This has been a learning experience for both parties.
We are looking forward to rebuilding the relationship with the employer. It has
been a difficult period.
The CCMA found that the three shop-stewards were present took place but did not
give leadership to the members.
The CMMA found that there were no grounds for the dismissal of the other
five employees.
