The Labour Appeal Court heard an appeal by AMCU on behalf of Mr Otshepeng Kgotlang against the dismissal decision upheld by the Labour Court. The judgment records that he had been found guilty of gross insubordination and clocking fraud after refusing instructions to report for underground duties and being paid while not reporting underground. The appeal was dismissed, with no order as to costs.
This appears to concern disputes about shop stewards, workplace instructions, and dismissal findings in a mining labour setting.
