They claim workplace abuse and horrible working conditions
Disgruntled Legal Aid SA attorneys, constitutionally mandated to provide the poor with legal assistance, have said their planned protest action in Johannesburg on Wednesday would not affect cases on the court roll, for now.
Speaking on behalf of his more than 200 colleagues, attorney Michael Motaung said their planned picket from 8.30am to 9.30am would not affect cases before the courts. He said the job requirements for Vedalankar’s replacement were allegedly crafted to benefit an internal staff member who had no practical legal experience. “This person was recently admitted as an advocate and he has no practical legal experience. The requirements for the position should be revised to include 10 years’ proven practical legal experience. This is what we want, that’s one of our demands.
He said they do not rule out embarking on a “full-blown strike” if their grievances are not addressed by the company.
