THE Labour Court on Monday ruled that the National Education Health and Allied Workers’ Union (Nehawu) ‘illegal and unprotected’ strike has been interdicted with immediate effect.
According to the court order, Nehawu affiliated members and all essential services employees are prevented from continuing with the violent strike action, which the union has said earlier it will intensify.
The labour court said the order will remain in force until the final determination of the appeal against the order made by the Labour Court on March 4 interdicting the strike by Nehawu.
The court also ordered the trade union to inform its members of the order of the court through publication on social media, by email and by all other appropriate means available to it by no later than 1pm on Monday.
The Ministry of Health has welcomed the court order against Nehawu.
