A Nedlac task team has been ordered to redraft four controversial labour bills, The New Age reported on Wednesday.
This was decided at a seminar on Tuesday where organised labour, business and civil society organisations rejected the bills as “badly drafted” and a threat to business and investors.
The National Economic Development and Labour Council (Nedlac) decided to appoint a task team, comprising three people each from labour, business and government, to redraft the amendment bills, reported The New Age.
A new draft was expected to be completed by November.
The four bills are the Labour Relations Amendment Bill, Employment Services Bill, Basic Conditions of Employment Amendment Bill and the Employment Equity Amendment Bill.
These bills were drafted when government spokesman Jimmy Manyi was still the director general of the labour department, before he was suspended.
Manyi had publicly urged cabinet and legislators to pass the bills.
Among other things, the bills aimed at eradicating labour brokering by repealing a section of the Labour Relations Act, and fining companies up to 10 percent of their revenue for repeatedly failing to comply with employment equity laws. - Sapa
