22nd  October  2016      MEMORANDUM  TO:         PROVINCIAL  TASK  TEAM  MEMBERS                                       REGIONAL  EXECUTIVE  COMMITTEES                                       BRANCH  EXECUTIVE  COMMITTEE  MEMBERS  SUBJECT:       COURT  ORDER  UNDER  CASE  NO.  3760/16.      

1. I  attach  hereto  a  copy  of  the  order  of  the  High  Court  relating  to  the  application  brought  by  the  department  against  SADTU.  

2. Your  attention   is  drawn  to   the  clause  7  of  the  order,  which   requires   that   the  contents  of  the  order  be  drawn  to  the  attention  of  members.  

3. At   a   special  meeting   of   the   PTT   it   was   resolved   that   the   order   be   complied  with.  Members  and  leaders  are  therefore  asked  to  ensure  compliance  with  the  order  and  not  to  interfere  with  the  process  of  the  identification  and  movement  of  educators.  

4. Your   attention   is   also   drawn   to   the   contents   of   Collective   Agreement   4   of  2016  in  particular  the  process   that  must  be  followed   in   the  identification  and  movement  of  educators.  We  request  that  leaders  and  members  monitor  these  processes   to   ensure   strict   compliance   with   the   terms   of   the   collective  agreement.    

5. It  has  been  decided   that  we  ensure   that   the  department  strictly  comply  with  the   procedures   set   out   in   the   collective   agreement   and   that   there   be   no  deviation  therefrom.    

6. Where   any   irregularities   are   cited,   it   has   been   decided   members   note   such  irregularities  and   instead  of  not  cooperating,   immediately   notify   the   relevant  structures  and  that  a  dispute  be  declared  immediately.    

7. I  also  wish  to  draw  to  members’  attention  that  Clause  2.6  applies  only   to  the  Post  Provisioning  matters.  Members  remain  entitled  to  protest,  strike  or  picket  in   respect   of   all   other   matters   unrelated   to   post   provisioning.   Leaders   are  reminded  to  obtain  the  necessary  permits  should  they  wish  to  protest  or  picket  on  any  other  matter  other  than  post  provisioning.  

8. It  has  also  been  decided  to  institute  legal  proceedings  in  respect  of  all  matters  related   to   salary   and   benefits   of   members,   which   have   not   been  processed.  These  include  the  rural  allowance  and  the  1%  pay  progression.  Our  legal  team  has  commenced  this  process  and  you  will  be  kept  up  to  date.    

 Comradely  Regards,
