The Dispute Resolution Digest has become a source of pertinent and authoritative commentary on dispute resolution and labour market issues, and should make essential reading for anyone involved in the SA labour industry. The issues debated in the 2014 Digest pick up on another eventful year in the labour market. They include the Labour Relations Act amendments (especially the position of contract workers and labour brokers), the mutual impacts between the amendments and the political and shop floor continued in 2013 Especially in the mining industry to the more legal technical issue of legal representation at the CCMA. While some of these issues have been assigned dedicated chapters, others are overarching and their cross-cutting nature justifies coverage across the entire publication.
