Workers Month Inspection campaign nets scores of non-compliant employers found to be in contravention of labour laws in Free State
Today, over 400 representatives of workers and employers, NGOs and government will meet with the European Commission to debate the "flexicurity" approach. Flexicurity combines active labour market policies, flexible contractual arrangements, lifelong learning and modern social protection systems.

The results of today's event will feed into the Commission's preparations for a policy communication on flexicurity at the end of June.
