Labour Law in Namibia is the first comprehensive and scholarly text to
analyse labour law in the country, the Labour Act of 2007, and how it
affects the common law principles of employment relations. Concise and
extensively researched, it examines the Labour Act in detail in 16
chapters that include the employment relationship; duties of employers
and employees; unfair dismissal and other disciplinary actions; the
settlement of industrial disputes; and collective bargaining. Over 500
relevant cases are cited, including court rulings in other countries,
and comparative references to the labour laws of other Commonwealth
countries, notably South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia and the United
Kingdom, making it a reference and comparative source book for common
law countries in the SADC region and beyond. Written by an authority in
the field of labour law, this is a unique reference guide for key
players in labour relations, including teachers and students of law,
legal researchers and practitioners, human resource and industrial
relations practitioners, employers and employer's organisations,
employees and trade unions, public servants and public policy advisors,
and the academic community internationally. In clear and uncomplicated
English, the book is accessible to professional and lay people. A
comprehensive list of contents, tables of cases and statues,
bibliography and index, assist the reader.
