2. The impact of contract law and the Constitution on labour law This book not only reflects the rules of labour law, but also shows that labour law governs in the modern workplace! 3. Exclusive protection under labour law 6. Protection from unfair labor practices under the LRA The book is primarily aimed at students who are dealing with labor law for the first time during their B.Com. and LLB studies. The book will also be useful for HR and IR staff, project managers, supervisors and union officials. This tried and tested labour law text has been updated to reflect the law of September 2020. Rules of LABOUR LAW! provides an accessible and clear discussion of all relevant legislation in the fields of labour, employment justice, social security and related legislation. The book brings together law and practice. The text is complemented by visual aids, examples and case law to clarify concepts. An important aspect of labour law that is often overlooked in an academic context is that of social security measures that have an impact on the workplace.

The book covers OHSA, MHSA, COIDA and UIA. The book concludes with an overview of so-called non-essential labour legislation such as the Employment Services Act, the Qualifications Development Act, the Employment Tax Incentives Act, the Communication Control and Communication Information Act and the Personal Data Protection Act. The content is divided into four parts, in which individual labor law, collective labor law, social security law and other labor laws are discussed. The common law employment contract is the basis of the relationship. The book explains how the Constitution, BCEA, NMWA, LRA and EEA complete the relationship. The legal protection of employees, including non-standard employees, will be clarified. Dismissals, unfair labour practices, discrimination, harassment and the impact of transfers on employers and employees are explained with reference to recent legislative and business developments. The book contains an analysis of collective labour law. Aspects such as collective bargaining, collective agreements, parties to collective bargaining (e.g. B trade unions) and company forums are dealt with.

The legal requirements for strikes, lockouts, pickets and protected protest actions are dissected and explained on the basis of case law and practical examples. . 7.
