Book Launch Webinar: Teachers' Right to Strike

In celebration of Wits University’s centenary, CDH, Juta and the School of Law hosted a webinar on the book launch of Dr. Mohamed Alli Chicktay’s book, Teachers' Right to Strike: A comparative study of ILO Standards and South African Law.

31 Oct 2022 1 min read Webinar Webinar

Prior to 1994 teachers were denied a meaningful Right to strike. This changed in 1994 when South Africa adopted a Bill of Rights. In his book, published by Juta, Chicktay critically discusses whether the LRA conforms to ILO standards, particularly in respect to teacher strikes. Chicktay then develops a model that adequately balances a teacher’s right to strike and students’ rights to education in compliance with ILO standards and the South African Constitution.

Fragmentation of agricultural land: Subdivisions, consolidations and notarial ties

South Africa’s agricultural sector is one of the cornerstones of its economy that has been intricately woven into the legal fabric of the country. Despite its relatively small share of the total gross domestic product (GDP), agriculture remains a significant provider of employment in rural areas and is one of the major earners of foreign exchange in South Africa. South African agriculture is, however, limited by the relative scarcity of arable land and water resources, thus resulting in the evolution of the legislative framework governing agricultural land, which encompasses the country’s commitment to sustainable agriculture and environmentalconservation.

It addresses and provides guidance as to how to treat employees during business restructuring exercises and redundancies.
