Employment relations, traditionally
known as industrial or labour relations, forms an integral part of the
activities of labour, employers and the government in business. It centres on
balancing, integrating and reconciling the partly common and partly divergent
interests of these parties. South African employment relations has
reached the milestone of having been available for more than a quarter of a century
and is the longest running book in this field in South Africa.
This 8th edition of South
African employment relations redefines the various role players in
employment relations management and broadens the field to incorporate them. It
brings the direction the labour market is going in terms of collective bargaining
into sharper focus and proposes ways in which fair workplace relations can be
established. It furthermore deals with the latest legislative developments,
union activities and other contemporary issues. Besides the case studies and a
comprehensive glossary, this edition now includes short inserts entitled “ER in
practice” to highlight the challenges posed by industry and the business
community, and to empower readers and practitioners to utilise the insights
gained from these examples with confidence in their daily business activities. Lecturer
support material is also available.
