Does the EFF Rip Off Its Staff?

The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) – which has projected itself as the champion of the working class and the poor – stands accused of violating the rights of its own workers.

In the nine months since the EFF was elected into Parliament, the party has:

Laid off workers by dismissing them verbally, giving them a week’s notice;

Failed to register workers and pay their contributions over to the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF); and

Failed to hand Pay As You Earn (PAYE) tax deductions to the SA Revenue Service (Sars).

Now, about 20 staff members from various provinces have taken their cases to the department of labour and the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA).
