. The Global Financial Crisis is just one example of how much work is demanded from the National Economic Development and Labour Council (NEDLAC) and the Commission for Conciliation Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA).

Consequent to this, NEDLAC is unable to attract requisite skills due to financial constraints. As a matter of urgency, the Committee recommends that National Treasury should address the financial position of these two entities, in view of the fact that their work has serious socio-economic implications if not properly addressed.
