Court Awards (Citations)

In regards to my earlier post yesterday "Rights of an employee" here's a Court Award (Citation) from Industrial Court on Management Prerogatives which further support the article on "Right to Hire and Fire". Hope it will be of interests and is useful to all........

Court 245/91
Selwyn in the "Law of Employment" states:
'Now that the age when management could "hire and fire" at will has gone, it is possible to assert that the employer has a legal duty to treat his employees with due respect and consideration, mindful of their needs and problems, sympathetic with their difficulties. It is no longer possible to treat an employee as an expendable chattel, or as an object without feelings and emotions'.

Nowadays, termination of employees must be with just cause.
Gone were the days where employer can simply dismissed an employee based on feelings and emotions.
