They cited the disruptive behaviour of Cosatu members during these hearings as the reason for withdrawing, adding that the ANC and the labour federation seemed to have pre-empted the outcome.
"The disruption of the public hearings on labour brokers in Germiston is a mutilation of the dignity of Parliament and cannot be tolerated. These hearings are in fact nothing but a charade, with the ANC and Cosatu making a farcical pretence at discussing an issue on which they have in fact made up their minds already," the parties said.
