Legal Aid South Africa has been accused of using intimidation tactics to discourage workers, including lawyers and support staff, from taking part in today’s planned demonstrations.
Since the demonstrations will be taking place during working hours, the “no work, no pay” principle will be applied for a minimum of half a day to a full day for those participating, the memo stated. As part of a build-up to a full-blown strike, which could, if not averted, bring the justice system across the country to a halt, workers will today hold demonstrations at the public legal agency’s Braamfontein offices.
They are also aggrieved by a debilitating workload which, they said, compromised quality at the expense of the accused, who depend on Legal Aid lawyers for justice.
