The Johannesburg Labour Court has granted the country\'s oldest journalists\' union, the SA Union of Journalists, an order allowing its provisional liquidation, says a report on the Mail & Guardian Online site.
Labour Judge Musi gave interested parties until 10am on March 15 to state why he should not make the order final, after which a liquidator will be appointed to wind up the union\'s affairs.
