Labour Dispute Resolution

About this Publication:

Labour Dispute Resolution sets out the system provided in our law for resolving labour disputes, either in terms of the Labour Relations Act or by private dispute resolution. It guides employees, employers, trade unions and employers' organisations (and their representatives) through the various processes to be followed, and sets out the institutions to which particular disputes should be referred.
