4 tips to beat strikes
Labour Bulletin | 7 January, 2010 | Hot Topics:
Dear reader,
It’s finally here...the year some are calling the most important year in South Africa’s history since 1994! I, for one couldn’t be more excited. I vividly remember driving down Beyers Naude Drive on 15 May 2004 listening with bated breath for the 5fm DJ to announce the host for the 2010 Fifa World Cup.
“The winner is...South Africa!”
The sounds of car hooters and vuvuzelas filled the air; people were singing, hugging and crying. And I’m not ashamed to admit, I had a huge lump in my throat.
Now, six years later, I have my tickets and can’t wait!
Do you know how to handle a strike?
I’m well aware the country’s road to prepare for this event has been a rocky one...not least because of the effort to build world-class stadiums.
We’ve heard a number of stories over the years about delays to the construction of these stadiums, mostly because of strikes. These have caused setbacks and probably cost the companies huge amounts of money. Would you know what to do if your staff went on strike?
4 tips to beat strikes
Look at these four effective tips to beat strikes:
#1: Know all matters of mutual interest
#2: Be proactive in addressing disputes
#3: Follow your own policies and procedures
#4: Develop a good relationship with your employees’ union
Find out how to implement these top tips and more about how to manage strikes in your Labour Law for Managers handbook.
