ANA reports that Solidarity and the SA Police Service (SAPS) have reached a historic settlement that directly affects the promotion of more than 3,000 SAPS members, the trade union said on Sunday.
In terms of the settlement, the SAPS conceded that its current employment equity plan had to be amended following the recent Constitutional Court (ConCourt) ruling in the trade union's case against the Department of Correctional Services (DCS). This comes after Solidarity, in April 2016, obtained an urgent Labour Court interdict to halt the promotion of the 3,000 SAPS members until the ConCourt had given a ruling on the lawfulness of the DCS's employment equity plan. The settlement also stipulates that Solidarity's more than 30 individual affirmative action cases against the SAPS would be investigated with a view to reaching possible settlements.
