Law on - Freedom of Association & Collective Bargaining

• All workers are free to form or join a trade union of their own choice.
• All workers have the right to strike, exccept those engaged in essential services.
• Employers and unions in each industry negotiate collective bargaining agreements through joint councils.
• The Industrial and Labour Relations Act (IRA) requires unions to be registered
• Unions must have at least 100 members
• In principle there can only be one union per industry
• Anti-union discrimination is prohibited by law

This means that:

• If there is no union, management should encourage the formation of a Workers' Committee.
• Workers' representatives should be democratically elected by the workforce.
• Employers should meet regularly with the union and/or Workers' Committee. Meetings should be minuted and the minutes displayed on a notice-board.
