Labour court judge Benita Witcher, in a scathing judgment against Nehawu in a case over protective gear for health workers, says the public sector union could not point to a legal norm that was breached.

“In the main, the applicant claims that the minister has failed to ensure that health workers are provided with PPE , has failed to issue guidelines for the use of PPE and has failed to meaningfully engage the applicant about these issues.”

However, Witcher in her ruling found that though there is a national shortage of PPE, the specific hospitals identified by Nehawu either have no shortage at all, and if they do, it is not of the type that would warrant the application because it can be resolved by making the relevant enquiry and administratively by simply placing additional orders, or shifting resources from hospitals that have more stock.
