Judges

Section 34 of the BCEA applies to all deductions from remuneration, including those arising from the no work no pay principle. The employer may withhold remuneration for services not rendered during a strike, but once remuneration is paid, any recovery must comply with section 34, requiring agreement or adjudication. The principle of no work no pay does not constitute a law permitting unilateral deductions under section 34(1)(b). There is no conflict between the BCEA and LRA in this context. The doctrine of set-off does not apply where the extent of indebtedness is disputed and not liquidated…

Judge
AC Basson
The Labour Court has jurisdiction to determine the lawfulness or validity of an agency shop agreement under section 77(1) and 77(2) of the BCEA, which qualifies as 'any other law' under section 157(1) of the LRA. The applicants' claim for a declaration of invalidity and reimbursement of deducted monies falls within this jurisdiction. However, the constitutional challenge to the agency shop agreement is not competent unless the applicants also challenge the constitutionality of section 25 of the LRA itself. The principle of constitutional subsidiarity requires litigants to rely on legislation…
