Question

Is it permissible for an imam of a Musjid to take the Musjid's trustees to the CCMA for 'unfair dismissal' and to demand monetary compensation?

Answer

From the perspective of the worker, there is no such thing in Islam as 'unfair dismissal'. An employer has the right to terminate the services of the worker even if he has no reason. It is haraam for a worker to impose his desires on the employer by running to the kuffaar institutions to enlist them in his bid to usurp the wealth of the employer. Such an 'imaam' is the devil incarnate.
