MISA warns members against participating in unprotected June 30 protests

MISA says its new digital channel will ensure workers are not left behind as the motor industry undergoes rapid change.

Members of the Motor Industry Staff Association (MISA) are being urged to refrain from taking part in the #MarchandMarch protests scheduled for June 30.

Participation in this protest is not protected under labour law. Because the strike lacks legal protection, any absence from work could lead to disciplinary measures, which may include dismissal, MISA warns.

MISA emphasises its rejection of unlawful behavior and violence. The association urges its members to demonstrate responsibility and peace by adhering to the rule of law and respecting basic human rights.

Martle Keyter, MISA’s Chief Executive Officer Operations said: “Our union stands firmly against vigilantism and mob justice, which only deepen divisions and place lives at risk.”
