Do our laws protect incompetent workers?

Editor, RE: “Increasing court cases expose gaps in the labour law” (The New Times, February 5). It is unfortunate that this article quotes some key figures as being unaware of glitches in the labour law. But, again, nothing surprises me anymore. I am an employee and honestly feel sorry for employers who have to deal with employees that have outrightly refused to work or do the bare minimum and expect to be handsomely rewarded at the end of the month.
