The judgemeent laid out that these workers should now either be reinstated or properly compensated for illegal dismissal.
DESA have appealed these findings.
On the 20nd January the court heard a further 3 cases of unfair dismissal filed on behalf of DESAworkers. This was followed by a further 5 on the 22nd January 2009. All 8 workers were judged to have been illegally dismissed as a result of union organising.
DESA have yet to respond to these judgements, other than to continue to refuse reinstatement to Emine and a number of other workers.
