Description: The year has hardly begun but there are already exciting developments for workers. On 2 February, the Minister of Labour, Tito Mboweni, unveiled a new draft Labour Relations Bill and on 18 February President Nelson Mandela launched the new National Economic, Development and Labour Council, called NEDLAC. The draft Labour Relations Act is a culmination of struggles by workers over the years against apartheid’s labour dispensation. Many of our demands from the Workers Charter and Platform of Worker Rights are included in the proposed law. The strike wave by Pick ’n Pay workers and others last year sent a clear message to the new government: “Our labour law is out of date and inappropriate for a democratic country.” In August 1994, the Minister of Labour appointed a team of lawyers to draft a new law.
