The Communication Workers’ Union (CWU) will not be deregistered by the department of labour until an appeal on September 20, the union said on Friday (17 August 2012).<\/p>\n
“The department of labour was once again embarrassed and told by the court that there was no need to deregister the union hastily,” said acting secretary general Thabo Mogalane.<\/p>\n
Mogalane said the court believed that CWU’s appeal should be heard quickly.<\/p>\n
He said the notice of deregistration had come as a surprise to the union.<\/p>\n
While it was aware that its provincial offices were not in compliance, it believed they were working within a time-frame for compliance agreed to with the department.<\/p>\n
