- Description
- This research has five important objectives. First, to outline the legal frame work regulating the right to strike. Outlining this legal framework is important in that it will provide an understanding of both the right to strike and the concept of a protected strike. it is crucial to understand what a protected strike is because the concept underlies the entire research. Without understanding it, it will be impossible to answer the main research question. Second, to investigate the causes of violence during protected strikes. An examination of the causes of violence enables the study to suggest possible solutions to end violent strike action in future. After all the LRA envisages in section 1, labour peace and an effective resolution of disputes. Third, to examine how the LRA regulates the use of violence during protected strikes. An understanding of how the LRA regulates violent strike action is important since the LRA is an important piece of legislation which governs South African labour relations. It is important to obtain guidance on how the law regulates such conduct. Fourth, to ascertain the courts’ approach towards violence during strikes The courts’ approach helps us understand how the courts will deal with strike violence during 5 protected strikes. It is also noteworthy that case precedents in this regard will be of importance when faced with similar acts of violence during strike action. Fifth, to examine the legal implications of violence during protected strikes. This objective directly answers the main research question and this will enable the study to offer possible recommendations in the final chapter of this study.
