Organisational rights and the right to bargain
Category Unions and collective bargaining
Employers and unions alike sometimes confuse the organisational rights granted by the Labour Relations Act based on the level of representation of the union and the right to bargain. The union may, wrongly, think it is entitled to bargain with the employer once it reached majority status. Certain rights are afforded to the sufficiently representative union and to the majority union. Section 11 to 16 of the LRA deals with the organisational rights afforded to unions. Section 12, 13 and 15 allow the sufficiently representative union to have access to the workplace, its subscription levies deducted and time off for its officials. Once majority status is achieved, the union becomes entitled to appoint union representatives and to access of information in terms of section 14 and 16. Information Sheet R 95.00 Preview

Retrenchment and measures how to avoid retrenchment
Category Retrenchments
Retrenchment is nothing but a dismissal for operational reasons, which can include a variety of reasons such as the financial decline of a business, an employer deciding to increase profits of his business or a part thereof, the introduction of new technology that results in a decline in positions or structural changes such as the transfer of a part of the business of the employer. Retrenchment is one of the three reasons accepted in the South African labour law to dismiss an employee. Retrenchment is also known as a "no fault dismissal". Due to the fact that it is in essence still a dismissal, the requirement of "fair labour practices" still applies. Information Sheet R 95.00 Preview

Signing a voluntary retrenchment agreement essentially amounts to a waiver of an employee’s rights in terms of the Labour Relations Act No. 66 of 1995 (“LRA”).

Strike action - friend or foe
Category Strike and lockout
The purpose of setting up a trade union or belonging to one is that collective power is a fundamental concept of a trade union. An employee achieves very little when he or she is a “one man show”. A single employee can, for instance, not embark on a protected strike. Employees therefore organize themselves in trade unions in order to maximize their collective power in what we call “power play” against the employer. This ensures greater participation by employees in the regulation of their workplace matters. It is this positive effect of power-play that has been recognized by the legislature and embodied in law.

Category Disciplinary hearings
An information sheet considering the impartiality of a chairperson. Prior knowledge of a case is always a contentious issue. It is not always possible for a chairperson to have no knowledge of the case, especially where the chairperson is part of the operations of the employer where the misconduct occurred. It is a fine line any chairperson should apply to determine whether she knows enough about the case to place her in a position where an opinion of guilt or innocence can be formed in her mind already. The golden rule should be that: if in doubt, rather recuse yourself and appoint another chairperson. Information Sheet R 150.00 Preview

The role of the disciplinary code
Category Disciplinary hearings
Not all employers have a disciplinary code of conduct. It is often the small employer that does not have a code of conduct and who employs more informal disciplinary measures.

One of the surest ways to ensure that everybody in the employer’s business complies with its rules and that the sanctions for breaking those rules are consistently applied, is adopting uniform standards of rules – called the disciplinary code of conduct.
