What this means

The document announces that the Bargaining Council for the Civil Engineering Industry (BCCEI) was accredited by the CCMA to handle disputes for non-party entities, effective 1 September 2015. It explains that non-member companies and non-member employees within the civil engineering industry can access CCMA-style dispute resolution through BCCEI, leveraging a panel of industry-specific commissioners. The BCCEI positions itself as an independent statutory body providing unbiased dispute resolution, with most cases in certain areas to be heard at its Bedfordview facility, while still offering CCMA expertise.
