Product description

The objective of this textbook is to understand the environmental context of labour relations while attempting to promote sound labour relations between the parties.

The field of labour relations in South Africa is a dynamic one, influenced by politics, ideology, societal factors and legislation. In this book the dynamic and diverse relationship between employees, employers and the state is examined. Labour Relations theory is covered from comparative and local developmental perspectives and the strategic considerations of the various parties are described before the legal framework and conflict resolution structures and processes are discussed.
