The
Democratic Alliance on Tuesday submitted a Private Members Bill titled Labour
Relations Amendment Bill which will enforce accountability in regards with
violent strikes.
DA
MP of Labour Ian Ollis said nothing must comprise the protection and lawful
exercise of workers Constitutional rights.
Ollis
added that the DA hopes that the Bill will end strike violence in the country. South
Africans have seen the Marikana problem unravelled and many other violent
strikes occurring in South Africa
“In
one particular strike during the first two weeks of the Metal and Engineering
sector strike 246 cases of intimidation were reported, 50 cases that were
violent incident and 85 case of vandalism. This kind of violence needs to be
stopped.” Ollis
