Bargaining Council commissioner Joseph Mphaphuli dismissed the application for alleged unfair dismissal.
The the group were given notices informing them their employment was expiring at the end of the month, that the posts would be advertised and people staff would be employed from the beginning of May. "In the absence of an existing dispute which dispute can only into being when employment is physically terminated, there can be no dismissal at issue."
