The Uasa trade union announced on Tuesday that it was instituting legal proceedings against financially-beleaguered State-owned defence industrial group Denel for contempt of court. This followed Denel’s failure to implement an order of the Labour Court to pay Denel employees their salary arrears. Last week, the Labour Court ordered the group to pay the workers their outstanding salaries and other required obligations for the months of May, June and July this year by Friday. This did not happen.
