Collective Labour Law deals with all the issues that arise in the relationship between organized labour and employers. Beginning with a description of the main players in the field – trade unions and employers’ organisations – the book undertakes a systematic exploration of the available bargaining Forums, the collective bargaining process, the conclusion of collective agreements, the legal requirements covering strikes and lockouts, and the consequences of unlawful industrial action. This edition has been revised and updated to incorporate the latest case law and amendments to the LRA, EEA and BCEA. Collective Labour Law forms part of a 4-volume series, and can where necessary be read with its companion volumes – Employment Rights, Dismissal and Labour Litigation and Dispute Resolution.
