I need advise on how to proceed with a grievance against unfair labour practice in terms of benefits. A bit of background: in 2011 a grievance was brought to the attention of our line managers, which District and Area Manager's regarding why colleagues of same designation and job specification was receiving essential user allowance and us not. We only received ad hoc allowance. In 2016 the situation still had not changed we launched another collective grievance against the District manager and Director of the department. We had a meeting and the same management resolution which was proposed in 2011 was tabled, we did not sign the proposed resolution but no one voiced their dissatisfaction out of fear of victimization. We were supposed to have a follow meeting end May 2016, this did not transpire nor were we ever furnished with minutes of the meeting. Current unfair labour practise in terms of benefits (car allowance/essential user) still persists. We want to escalate the matter to the next level as per our grievance procedure. The employer is local government (metro municipality). What legal grounds do we have to contest this unfair practice?
