Workplace Grievance? Know What to Do, When It Matters Most.
This Labour Month, we’re committed to ensuring every worker has access to dignity, fairness, and a voice in the workplace. Our mission is to empower you with the knowledge and tools needed to address workplace issues confidently and protect your rights. Whether you're dealing with unfair treatment, unsafe conditions, or simply need guidance on your legal options, we are here to support you every step of the way. Know your rights, claim your power, and make your voice heard.
To bring these issues to light, we spoke to everyday South Africans about their workplace experiences — from frustration and confusion to concerns about fair treatment. Their stories highlight just how common (and often misunderstood) workplace challenges can be. We’re here to help you navigate them with clarity. Learn how to identify red flags, understand the grievance process, and how Members can use our Grievance Self-Service Tool to take action with confidence.

Learn About Workplace Grievances
Workplace grievances are more common than you think — and knowing how to identify and address them is key to protecting your rights. A grievance can be any concern, unfair treatment, or violation of your workplace rights, whether it's about discrimination, harassment, unfair labour practices, or health and safety issues.
Understanding what qualifies as a grievance and how the process works gives you the power to speak up and take action confidently. Explore the types of grievances, when to raise them, and the steps you can take to resolve them effectively.
