The National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa's special central committee meeting on Tuesday resolved to appeal the Labour Court's interdict against the union's controversial congress this week, and decided that the event would proceed on Wednesday.
The union's second deputy president and president of the South African Federation of Trade Unions Ruth Ntlokotse and 30 other suspended officials successfully challenged their suspensions at the Labour Court in Johannesburg last week. The Numsa statement said the SCC decided that no suspensions should be re-imposed and that the individuals who were previously suspended will be permitted to attend and participate in the congress.
"It nevertheless also resolved that it will be prudent to take all steps possible to ensure that Numsa acts within the four corners of its constitution and by the content of the judgment," the statement said.
