Motus Holdings has denied that its division, SA Vehicle Retail SA Retail, has taken unilateral action to retrench employees, as claimed by the Motor Industries Staff Association Misa and other unions in the industry.
It said the matter before the Labour Court followed an application brought by Misa to interdict SA Retail from proceeding with its restructuring plan.
The group said the matter concerned what it called a realignment process of incentive structures and company car benefits for administrative and support-related employees as an alternative to forced retrenchments.
