Quick Overview

South Africa’s Labour Relations Act of 1995 (“LRA”) regulates the relationship between trade unions and employers.

  • it guarantees basic organisational rights to trade unions where they previously had none
  • it simplifies the procedures required for industrial action to be lawful
  • it delineates in what circumstances industrial action is and is not permitted


South Africa’s collective bargaining framework is complex. In establishing the rules of engagement, trade unions, employers and their professional advisors must grapple with the LRA’s provisions at every phase of a complex collective bargaining relationship. Todd renders this complex and crucial knowledge accessible in a readable form for lawyers and their clients — trade unions and employers alike.

Although this book was published in 2004, the law remains essentially the same and this is the definitive straight forward guide to strikes and collective bargaining and invaluable to unions and employers alike as well as to their advisors.
