The Cape Chamber of
Commerce on Thursday said if the new draft regulations of the Employment Equity
Act is implemented it would mean that a system of unfair discrimination on staff
would have to be imposed.
President of the Cape Chamber of Commerce Janine Myburgh said they have written to the Minister of Labour objecting to the social engineering and race based provisions in the draft regulations.
Myburgh added that
the Chamber has written to the Minister of Labour objecting to the social
engineering and race-based provisions in the draft regulations.
“In this
corresponded we quote the recent judgement which states that not taking
regional demographics in to account when promoting staff amounted to unfair
discrimination.
Surely after 20
years of democracy we have reached a stage of development where the race factor
should be phased out of employment legislation and not re-enforced with new regulations.”
Myburgh said.
