Labour relations at the workplace: The experience of Southern Africa
Article Abstract:
The role of shopfloor worker institutions in relations with trade unions, collective bargaining and dispute settlement in eight Southern African countries is studied. It is also seen that no uniform system exists in Southern Africa and trade unions play a substantial role in shopfloor work representation, which in turn offers no express powers to shopfloor institutions and affects the level of collective bargaining at that level.
