Strike action taken by employees can bring a business to its knees. Are you aware of your right as an employer during a strike?
The Labour Relations Act provides for aggrieved employees to take action in the form of a strike, but certain rules must be adhered to for the strike to be legal. If not, employers are allowed to take steps against these employees, including lock out and in serious cases, dismissal.
Join me for this two our session as we go through the dangerous landscape that regulates strikes in South Africa.
The following will be covered during this session:
• Employees right to strike as a constitutional right
o Protected strike vs Unprotected strike
• Employers recourse of lock out
o Protected lock out vs Unprotected lock out
o Replacement labour

This session will be beneficial to all employers, HR departments and any other interested party with regards to strikes.
