Critical evaluation of the Constitutional duty to engage in collective bargaining
No full textThe law regarding collective bargaining in South Africa has been interpreted in two ways; the Labour Relations Act (LRA) refers to a duty to bargain collectively, while the Constitution refers to a right to engage in collective bargaining. These two interpretations have been subjected to judicial criticism (SANDU v Minister of Defence 2003 3 SA 239 (T) I; SANDU v Minister of Defence 2004 4 SA 10 (T) II; and Minister of Defence v SANDU 2007 1 SA 422 (SCA) III (hereafter "SANDU I, II and III")). These cases are relevant in terms of the courts' interpretation of collective bargaining as a duty or freedom. They are currently the main cases dealing with this issue in South Africa. This has created doubt as to whether the distinction provides an acceptable basis to use the terms interchangeably, both by the courts as well as those involved in collective bargaining. The purpose of this paper is firstly to sketch the landscape of South Africa's collective bargaining jurisprudence, touching on the current legislation and secondly to give an overview of why collective bargaining is a necessary tool to balance power in the workplace. I shall examine the discourse as to whether the term "collective bargaining" creates a duty to participate (which can mean compelled) in collective bargaining on the part of the employer,as opposed to a right to engage in collective bargaining (which is voluntary). Lastly, the author will attempt to show the thread of how the courts have answered the question in case law (SANDU I, II and III supra).Jurisprudenc

Is it trendy or it is your mindset?
No full textIn “Is it trendy or it is your mindset?” is raised the question of how garments reflect
humans’ personality and convey their moods, tastes and attitudes. The author supports this view
by pointing out that colors and styles of clothing that people choose are closely related to their
worldview or thinking, because choosing something specific, consciously or unconsciously, people
find themselves in it. The article is based on psychological and scientific facts or studies that
demonstrate the importance of making the right wardrobe, because in fact it is 70% of the success
of any project, event or meeting, and this point will be highlighted in the article
