September, Jerome. "Children's rights and child labour: a comparative study of children's rights and child labour legislation in South Africa, Brazil and India." Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/9175.
Full textThis dissertation will, through the analysis of various pieces of legislation and taking account of the daily realities of children in South Africa, Brazil and India (IBSA), outline the progress made to reduce and eradicate the exploitation of children, through the elimination of child labour. These three countries are chosen because of the particular challenges they face, but also because as part of the IBSA group, they have committed themselves to working together in the advancement of key international matters, including issues of human rights and social justice. The India, Brazil and South Africa (IBSA) group has further recently been held up as a global example for the efforts made by nations in the elimination of the worst forms child labour. The ultimate goal is the total elimination of child labour. This dissertation will draw attention to the complexities and contradictions in policy and practice, with particular reference to concepts such as ‘Child Labour’ and the ‘Worst Forms of Child Labour’. This dissertation will compare [the experience of] childhood in these countries, and explore the risk factors that place particular children, and families, at risk of utilising child labour as a source of income.

Full textThe question of private sector involvement in prison facilities raises significant concerns as regards to international labour standards. Opponents of private sector involvement argue that private hiring of prison labour can involve exploitation. They also argue that the authority for punishment is a core governmental function that cannot be delegated to the private sector. Furthermore, in most cases, labour and social security laws are not applied to inmates. Therefore, prison labour can constitute unfair competition with free labour or even go as far as to replace free labour.

International standards in the area of corporations’ human rights obligations are analyzed in addition to legal mechanisms to hold corporations accountable, particularly for corporate complicity in human rights abuses by States, through the jurisprudence of international criminal tribunals and U.S. Courts. Special attention is given to the security sector, i.e. Private Military and Security Companies (PMSCs), interested in the last decades by a steady growth. PMSCs, increasingly contracted by governments willing to outsource a typical state function and by companies and NGOs active in difficult contexts, have been operating without proper supervision and accountability. PMSCs activities raise issues concerning potential human rights violations committed by their employees and labour rights abuses their employees might suffer themselves. UN actions aimed at bringing PMSCs out of the legal ‘grey zone’ where they have been operating are tackled alongside with self-regulatory initiatives.

Full textA review of literature reveals, that three key issues underlie the debate on whether soldiers may have labour rights. The first suggests that it is socially unjust, or undemocratic, to deny soldiers the right to belong to a labour union to advance their interests as employees. The second, is that the constitutional rights of soldiers to belong to trade unions must yield to the unique nature of military service, given the need for discipline, obedience and cohesion. For the sake of national security, these rights must be curtailed. The third area of concern, is the effect of military unionisation upon the political control of the armed forces. This study sets out to analyse whether labour rights, such as the right to belong to a trade union for the purpose of collective bargaining, as well as the right to strike, can be extended to soldiers without undermining national security. The suggestion is made that the unique nature of the military profession, the ethical requirements of the profession, as well as the potential consequences of the abuse of the monopoly over the means of mass destruction, complicates the acceptance of a more pluralist approach to labour relations. The drift towards occupationalism, as well as the impact of certain societal trends on the military organisation, nevertheless compels the armed forces to adapt their unitarist approach to labour relations, and accept a more pluralist dispensation. The unique nature of military service complicates the acceptance of pluralist labour relations practices, and even where labour rights have been extended to soldiers, the activities of the unions or associations representing soldiers are curtailed. Against this background an assessment is made whether labour rights can be extended to soldiers in South Africa.

Full textIn the South African employment context, temporary employment service (hereinafter referred as TES), also known as labour broking, is regulated by the Labour Relations Act.1 Under the previous LRA (prior 2014 legislative amendments), employees of TES have been challenged in respect of exercising their labour law rights and that subjected them to exploitation. Such exploitation called for the government of South Africa to effect some amendments on the LRA with a view to protect TES employees. This was done through Labour Relations amendment Act no 06 of 2014, which came into force in August 2014. The relationship in TES involved three parties, such as, client, labour broker and an employee. A labour broker entered into a commercial contract with a client, in terms of which the former would provide employees to the client. An employment contract will then be entered into between labour broker and an employee. The duration of employment contract would mostly be determined by as long as the client requires services of a placed employee. No employment contract was entered into between an employee and the client. This is despite the fact that a client had directly enjoyed services of the employee.

Full textThe ever increasing regional and global trade competition has manifested itself in a growing number of non-standard forms of employment including the increasing use of "
temporary employment services"
(or &ldquo
labour brokers&rdquo
as commonly referred to). Labour brokers enter into employment relationships as third parties with client companies to supply employees through a commercial contract. These labour services usually fall outside the regular twoparty contract of employment defined under existing labour laws and thus the employees are not covered by that law. Labour brokers have been labelled as &ldquo
the re-emergence of new apartheid strategy&rdquo
and &ldquo
modern slavery&rdquo
by some quarters in labour sectors of Namibia and South Africa. Trade unions, particularly, have led the most vocal resistance against labour brokers in both countries. They argue that, like previous apartheid contract labour systems, labour brokers today erode standards for decent working conditions and weaken union representations in the workplace. Thus unions have repeatedly sent strong calls to lawmakers to amend existing labour laws and &bdquo
forever put labour broking in its grave where it belongâ1. On the other hand, employers have argued that recent forces of globalisation demand flexible employment strategies and banning labour brokers will make it more difficult for local businesses compete profitably globally via flexible short term employments and can lead to losses of many job opportunities.2 It is against this background that I will argue that current labour laws should be amended to define and regulate labour brokers more closely and compel them to recognise workers rights and conditions as equal as those of standard employees. But first, I will highlight some socio-economic indicators influencing the labour markets in South Africa and Namibia, including the history of workerâs rights under the contract labour systems in both countries. Second, I will look at some of the expressed exploitive conditions resulting from the use of labour brokers and also look at some reasons why businesses engage labour brokers. Thereafter I will point out some of the reasons why trade unions have called for a total ban on labour brokers. I will then discuss the difficulty of banning labour brokers, including the constitutional challenge in the landmark case of African Personnel Services v Government of the Republic of Namibia3. Lastly i will expand on the ruling by the Namibian Supreme Court of Appeal (NSA) recommending a regulatory approach in line with the International Labour Organisationâs (ILO) conventions on third-party employments.

Full textThe Constitution of South Africa lists pregnancy as a prohibited ground for discrimination. The South African labour law regime likewise makes provision for the protection of women and pregnant employees in the workplace. This protection is against less favourable treatment, through measures that prohibits dismissal and discrimination based on pregnancy. In defiance of these laws, the recent trend indicates that the less favourable treatment of women and pregnant employees in the South African workplace environment has become more prevalent and this has become a contentious issue. Thus, this study will firstly, in view of relevant constitutional guarantees, focus on labour legalisation (and where relevant, related legislation outside the labour law arena) that has been enacted to provide for the protection of pregnant women in the workplace. Secondly, this study will demonstrate that despite these provisions that affords for formal protection of pregnant women in the workplace, practically many pregnant women continue to be treated unjustly because of their pregnancies or reasons related thereto. It is therefore clear that there is a setback with regard to the practical implementation of the laws protecting pregnant employees. Finally, this study will clearly highlight that measures need to be established where the law protects pregnant employees in the workplace, so that these laws serve its purpose and that they are implemented in the correct manner that it is intended to serve. This will be done through tabling recommendations concerning how labour law should be implemented so that the employment rights of women and pregnant employees are comprehensively protected.
