THE South African Communications Workers’ Union (CWU) has written to Neotel, the second national telecommunications operator, to consult the union regarding its planned restructuring exercise.

Last December, Neotel announced plans to realign and restructure the company as it evaluated its business strategy, a move the union fears would lead to massive job losses.

In a media statement, CWU spokesperson Matankana Mothapo warned that the union would seek a court interdict to stop any illegitimate, unlawful and illegal mass dismissal process should the company fail to engage the union in negotiations.

The South African Labour Relations Act provides for consultations between employers and the union prior to company restructuring.
