Answer 1

The correct answer is:

a. The Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration

In many jurisdictions, particularly those that follow labor laws similar to South Africa's, employers are required to consult with a commission or relevant authority before dismissing employees for operational requirements. This consultation process is meant to ensure that the dismissal is fair and that all necessary procedures are followed.
