But worse was to come.

My son-in-law's store needed to do a stocktaking and, as manager, he must be around when the exercise was carried out.

Because of his wife's miscarriage, he applied for emergency leave but, to his surprise, this was rejected.

As he had to be with his wife, he took a week's no-pay leave and, for this, he was blacklisted.

Recently, my son-in-law's services were terminated. The reason given - he was not supposed to let rank-and-file staff to open the store.

But the fact is he needed to attend a company meeting and so he passed the key to his supervisor. Instead, the supervisor passed the key to a rank-and-file worker to open the store.

How can this injustice be allowed to happen?
