Abstract
Apartheid labor legislation denied
Black workers not only
basic employee rights on an individual
level but the collective
labor rights also. The Constitution
adopted in 1994 included
a universal Bill of Rights and
section 23 provides for specific
labor rights that include collective
labor rights. The 1995 Labor
Relations Act provides for
specific collective labor rights.
This new era of collective labor
law could be given effect to in
practice only by the juris prudence
developed by our labor
courts by their application and
interpretation of the Bill of
Rights and the labor rights. This
article examines the impact of
the Constitution and the role of
the courts in the development of
collective labor law in South
Africa.
