Mar 22, 06:41 pm I was a contractor for 12 years at a big company. in at a strike i saved the lives of hundreds of steel workers during a strike. the guy in charge of that operation is a big boss and he failed. 4 Years later I told him what happened. he got very angry at me. then I became suspicious and started looking around and found a secret recording device under my desk. I complained to my supervisor about this device but she did nothing. when this guy found out that I reported him one of his workers wrote me a letter to say we will no longer be needing your assistance. they blocked me at work from entering. yiu I sue him or the big conpany. it's a very big company

They also approached my new employer which tarnishes my professional reputation. They also sent out a notice to all clients stating that I stole from them ,which also harms my professional reputation.

Considering that for some cases they do not allow representation at the CCMA for misconduct unless it is deemed complex- I would like to know if yourl are able to represent someone for arbitration at the CCMA for alleged misconduct- specifically *Gross Dishonesty and Fraudulent Nisrepresentation* ? The Arbitration date is 5 May
My employer reduced my salary from R42 to round it to R25 , and my contract there is no salary cut clause and I suspect I am the only one who is getting this huge cut, the company is going through the retrenchment process, after I was assured that I am safe which made me not consider volunteering later they cut my salary

After initiating everything on my own from hearing to condonation because the union failed to apply for reconciliation I managed on paper to get my case where it proceed to arbitration between me and my employer CCT. I only need legal representation as I'm I'm exhausted because I fought this battle solely alone and do not know what to expect as I don't know who will be representing the company. I would like a firm who is open for payment arrangements after consultation please.
I was dismissed at work place and assaulted I opened a case at CCMA but my case was unfairly dismissed...S.A court also dismissed case for assault yet I have recordings of witnesses confessing on what they saw I was beaten infront of them but since last year up until this year I never got justice so all I'm asking is help because I'm tired of seeking for justice that doesn't to my side
I worked with a previous employer who sacked me on the basis that I was incompetent on the job. He did not pay me. I ended suing him to CCMA. He then decided to settle the case outside the court. Now today, this night came to my house with the Police Officers claiming that I was stole his stuff. And searched everywhere and found nothing. They confronted my wife and my innocent children in the absence because I stays in S because of work and visit my family every weekend. And the most interesting thing, they even secretly took our hard earned money
