| dc.description.abstract | The objective of this dissertation is to examine critically the role of the Permanent Labour Tribunal in its different functions since its establishment, and find out whether or not the Permanent Labour Tribunal has been effective in carrying out those functions. As the permanent labour tribunal deals with conflicts arising from employer-employee contractual relationships, the dissertation starts off by investigating the traditional common law concept of social justice which has given rise to state intervention in employment matters. In this respect it is shown the common law managerial prerogatives such as the employer’s right to “hire and fire” at pleasure are no longer adequately covering the employer-employee relationships, because of the inequality that exists between the employer and employee in bargaining power. This makes the concept of freedom of contract in employment contracts mere myth. Eventually, different types of labour legislation have had to be enacted in order to regulate the employer-employee relationships and to attempt to protect the employee from the employer’s bourgeois exploitative propensities has found it constrained in different ways, either through statutory inhibition or through practical administrative hitches. It is then argued in the dissertation that those constraints have stunted the effectiveness of this institution in carrying out its function as expected. In conclusion, after considering all those industrial relations issues and activities from January 1968 up to the end of the third quarter of 1980, the dissertation puts forward proposals for enhancing the status and effectiveness of the Permanent Labour Tribunal, through amending the Permanent Labour Tribunal Act, 1967 (No. 41 of 1967), through organizational arrangements | en_US |
