Labour - Department of Labour to embark on Employment Equity road shows

In today's show, we spoke to Trevor Bailey – From the Department of Labour about their Employment Equity road shows. The Department of Labour is embarking on a series of national road shows across the country to create awareness and compliance with the implementation of the Employment Equity Act. Headed by the Department of Labour’s EE Directorate Unit, the first round of road-shows kicked off yesterday in Paarl as officials gave presentations to hundreds of employers focusing on the status in the construction sector showing that whites still held dominant positions in senior management levels. The road shows will continue this week at the Grand West Casino in Cape Town, each day dedicated to the Construction, Manufacturing and Electrical sector, the Wholesale and Retail, and Catering sector, as well as the Finance and Transport sectors, respectfully.
