WHY JOIN AN EMPLOYER’S ORGANISATION?
Employer’s organisations are business’ version of trade unions, and equally perhaps, the area where employer’s organisations add the most value to a company is in industrial relations and human resources.
By belonging to an employer’s organisation a company has the surety that they will be represented by experienced labour professionals, in the event of dispute resolution.
This strategic advantage should never be underestimated. The representation issue will assume greater importance should the proposed amendments to the Labour Relations Act be promulgated.
These proposed amendments have conferred even greater importance to employers’ organisations, curtailing the right of representation in the CCMA. And, should these amendments be promulgated, companies would have to defend themselves in disputes by either their managers, legal staff in their employment or by members of an employer’s organisation.
