The judgment on the urgent interdict brought by trade union Solidarity against telecommunications group Telkom’s restructuring process would be delivered on Wednesday morning.

Solidarity lodged an application with the Labour Court accusing Telkom of disregarding a 2008 agreement with trade unions over restructuring processes.

The agreement had stipulated that all disputes between parties within Telkom’s restructuring forum needed to be resolved before the firm could embark on a retrenchment process.

However, two days after trade unions declared a dispute, Telkom, on June 22, issued Section 189 retrenchment notices that could impact up to 4 400 employees.

“The union is hopeful that the court will intervene for the sake of the workers,” Solidarity communications leader Marius Croucamp said.

Judge David Gush would deliver his judgment on the matter at 11:00 on Wednesday.
