News24 reports that the Food and Allied Workers Union (Fawu) has reinstated its case against South African Breweries (SAB) in a bid to stop the local unit of global brewing giant AB InBev from cutting 233 local warehouse jobs.
The union said in a statement on Monday that the matter has been “re-enrolled” in the Labour Court (LC) and would be heard on 14 October. Last week, it was reported the LC had dismissed an urgent application brought by Fawu seeking to prevent SAB from cutting the jobs concerned, citing defects in the union’s application. SAB confirmed last Wednesday that the matter had been struck from the court’s roll because the application was “not compliant with urgent Labour Court applications” and did not follow the requirements. On Monday, Fawu pointed out that media reports had been misleading and maintained that the matter had not been “not dismissed”, but just “struck off the roll”.
