"Labour Relations: A Southern African perspective is the eight editions of a text first published in 1989 under the title Labour Relations in South Africa. At that time, it was the first comprehensive textbook of its kind and was hailed as having reached the finishing line when others were still at the starting block. Since then continuous social, political and legislative developments, and the ever-changing labour relations scenario, have necessitated regular updates. The new edition includes: Updates of statutes, legislative requirements, and proposed legislation -- Simplified lists to aid understanding of complex theories -- Current, relevant case reviews -- Suggested questions/tasks at the end of each chapter -- Online support material.'' --Back cover
