$3\mathrm{.}2$ The Labour Relations Act sets out the substantive and procedural

requirements for a dismissal related to misconduct and poor work performance.

Consider the case studies below and identify if the requirements of the Act have

been complied with and explain what the areas of defect are, if any.

$3\mathrm{.}2\mathrm{.}1$ George Ezra and his fellow union members went on a legal strike over a

dispute related to the company$$s annual wage increase offer. The strike got

heated when management made a ridiculous offer of $1\%.$ The owners of the

business drove into the premises with their Bentley motor vehicle and had

the audacity of saying that they were not making enough profits. Their lack

of empathy just aggravated the striking workers, and they threw stones at

their car when they were driving off. George, who has quite a temper, had

a final written warning for assaulting a colleague, $2$ months ago and it was

valid for another $10$ months. After a disciplinary enquiry George was

dismissed but his two colleagues, who were also videoed throwing stones

at the boss$$s car, were given a final written warning. George thinks his

dismissal was unfair and wants your advice. $(2)$
