Does the VWA have a conflict of interest in acting for the
Employers and the Employees?
No other agency that I know of cannot represent both clients?
Lawyers cannot represent both clients?
So how does the VWA get away with it?
They cannot show impartiality to the employer and the employee.
So who loses here, when the employers pay the bills?
The Employees!
Impartiality; is a major component of this act and legislation and
with this conflict of interest happening the VWA cannot be
providing this!

Close to 3 years after this blog was written, I feel lucky to have spotted it. The reason: I have been thinking deeply about VWA lately; no points for guessing. I HAD REACHED THE SAME CONCLUSION. One cannot represent both sides, especially when decisions involving people's wellfare are made as well as provision for redress of their situation. The VWA cannot be judge and party. They have legal obligations towards both parties; unfortunately these obligations conflict and one party is definitely losing. The morale of the blog is: workers cannot sit on their hands and think it won't happen to me; they have to give the politicians a very good shake so they can pull their finger and do the right thing for the people. Remember, anyone can go under workcover. We just do not know what day our body and/or mind will crack under the boss' whip.
