Today’s case tackles private cannabis use, workplace testing, and the right to privacy.💻

The Labour Appeal Court confirmed that a positive urine test for cannabis, on its own, is not proof of on-duty intoxication - dismissing an employee for off-duty use without evidence of impairment is automatically unfair and discriminatory.

Happy reading! 📖⚖️

| South African Steelworks v MEIBC and Others [2025] 3 BLLR 257 (LAC)

When employees refuse to work a new shift system, is it misconduct or an unprotected strike?

The Labour Appeal Court confirmed that a refusal to obey a lawful instruction about working hours is misconduct, not a strike. The employer had the right to determine shift patterns. The instruction was lawful.

The legal principle is that a refusal to obey a lawful instruction about when to work is misconduct, not a strike.

Morning South Africa. 🇿🇦

Today is Workers' Day, and we want to take a moment to celebrate every single worker in this country.

From the cleaner who arrives before the sun, to the security guard who stands watch all night. From the bus driver who gets us home safely, to the waiter who serves with a smile. From the factory worker on the assembly line to the domestic worker who holds households together. From the cashier, to the truck driver, to the nurse, to the teacher. It does not matter your job title. It does not matter what your industry is. It does not matter how much you earn. You are appreciated.

Thank you for your hard work.

Happy Workers' Day. ✊🏿📖⚖️

Today we celebrate Freedom Day. 🕊️🇿🇦

On this day in 1994, South Africa held its first democratic elections – a moment that changed our nation forever.

Let us honour those who fought for our freedom, reflect on how far we've come, and commit to building the South Africa we all deserve.

Happy Freedom Day, Mzansi. ✊🏿

When only part of a business transfers, which employees move with it?

In this case, the Labour Appeal Court confirmed that where a business transfers only a segment of its operations, only employees dedicated exclusively to that segment automatically transfer under section 197.

To note, cross-border drivers moved to the new employer. Inter-provincial drivers stayed with the old employer, as that part of the business continued unchanged.

The legal principle is that where only a segment of a business transfers, only employees dedicated to that segment automatically transfer under section 197.
