Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>The Road Accident Fund (RAF) has been granted an interdict by the labour court against the National Union of Metalworkers of SA (Numsa) strike which was expected to get under way on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The union had served the entity with a strike notice, citing alleged mismanagement by CEO Collins Letsoalo.RAF head of communications McIntosh Polela said the strike would be unprotected and unlawful.<\/p>\n

Polela said the entity will exercise its rights against anyone who participates in the unlawful strike.<\/p>\n

Numsa general secretary Irvin Jim said they would comply with the order.<\/p>\n

\u201cNumsa is advising workers at the Road Accident Fund that the strike has been interdicted. We are calling on workers to observe the interdict because we do not want them to suffer victimisation through disciplinary action and possible dismissal.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the union was notified after 9pm on Wednesday that an interdict had been obtained, asserting the union was not properly served with papers and denied the opportunity to state its case.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will do whatever is necessary to fight back against the RAF for attempting to undermine the constitutional right to strike. The interdict will not stop us from continuing to expose the rot at the RAF.\u201d<\/p>\n

Responding on the union’s allegations, Polela said changes were under way at the entity as part of the 2020-2025 strategy to turn the entity around. The changes were approved by the board and the department of transport, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn attack on the CEO is unfortunate and unwarranted. The RAF is not a one-man show, it\u2019s an organisation. It is therefore disingenuous to attack one person, Collins Letsoalo,\u201d Polela said.<\/p>\n
