The Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 has dramatically changed the face of South Africa's labour law. The Act, which contains new rights and duties for employers and employees, has resulted in completely overhauled procedures, particularly with regard to the system of resolving disputes in the workplace. This work contains overviews of the new labour dispute resolution system and the institutions involved. It guides the reader through the procedures to be followed and indicates the specific insitutions to which the dispute must be referred. The book also contains clear guidelines and checklists on preparation for, and participation in, labour dispute processes such as conciliation, facilitation and arbitration. The emphasis throughout is on what parties should do and what they can expect in the process of resolving labour disputes. Also addressed are the nature of conflicts and disputes, key concerns and issues as well as general considerations in labour dispute resolution. Appendices contain the Arbitration Act 42 of 1965, excerpts from the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 and specimen arbitration agreement and forms.
This reference should be of interest to workers, employers, trade unions, employers' organizations and their representatives, legal practitioners, union office-bearers, human resource managers, industrial relations practitioners and university and technikon students.
