Amcu has failed to hold congresses since its inception, along with a lack of financial disclosures.
JOHANNESBURG - There are now questions over the fate of union Amcu after a notice was filled by the Labour Registrar this week, stating an intention to deregister the union, which has close to 250,000 members.
Labour relations Advocate Lehlohonolo Molefe is empowered by the Labour Relations Act to cancel the registration of unions and other related bodies should they cease to function according to the provisions in the Act, which includes the regular disclosure of financial statements. The other implication is that while the union can continue to function, it would not be able to act as a recognised entity by employers.
