Workers' groups are calling for the immediate rejection of proposed labour law amendments concerning dismissals.
They warn that these changes would make it easier for employers to fire workers unfairly, and could undo decades of hard-won rights.
The groups, including the Casual Workers' Advice Office and the Simunye Workers' Forum, highlight concerns over secret negotiations.
Matsoanelo Motomotomo of the Simunye Workers' Forum claims they are discussing compatibility, but the workers will not express their feelings.
They are providing bosses more authority over employees. She believes they are taking them back, with workers having no say.
