Description
The Labour Relations Act (LRA) of 1995, like any other law, was a product of its time. The labour relations system it established was premised on a number of assumptions that seemed valid then, but are no longer so. For example, the organisational rights the LRA provided assume that all workers work in a workplace which is controlled by their employer. This was because most employers did control the places where their workers worked, at the time the law was introduced. Nowadays, however, there are large numbers of workers who do not work at a workplace controlled by their employer.
