Employee participation and voice in companies : a legal perspective / Monray Marsellus BothaBotha, Monray Marsellus January 2015 (has links)
Recently, South African company law underwent a dramatic overhaul through the
introduction of the Companies Act 71 of 2008. Central to company law is the promotion of
corporate governance: companies no longer are accountable to their shareholders only but
to society at large. Leaders should direct company strategy and operations with a view to
achieving the triple bottom-line (economic, social and environmental performance) and,
thus, should manage the business in a sustainable manner. An important question in
company law today: In whose interest should the company be managed?
Corporate governance needs to address the entire span of responsibilities to all
stakeholders of the company, such as customers, employees, shareholders, suppliers and
the community at large. The Companies Act aims to balance the rights and obligations of
shareholders and directors within companies and encourages the efficient and responsible
management of companies. The promotion of human rights is central in the application of
company law: it is extremely important given the significant role of enterprises within the
social and economic life of the nation.
The interests of various stakeholder groups in the context of the corporation as a “social
institution” should be enhanced and protected. Because corporations are a part of society
and the community they are required to be socially responsible and to be more
accountable to all stakeholders in the company. Although directors act in the best interests
of shareholders, collectively, they must also consider the interests of other stakeholders.
Sustainable relationships with all the relevant stakeholders are important. The advancement of social justice is important to corporations in that they should take into
account the Constitution, labour and company law legislation in dealing with social justice
issues.
Employees have become important stakeholders in companies and their needs should be
taken into account in a bigger corporate governance and social responsibility framework.
Consideration of the role of employees in corporations entails notice that the Constitution
grants every person a fundamental right to fair labour practices.
Social as well as political change became evident after South Africa's re-entry into the
world in the 1990s. Change to socio-economic conditions in a developing country is also
evident. These changes have a major influence on South African labour law. Like company
law, labour law, to a large extent, is codified. Like company law, no precise definition of
labour law exists. From the various definitions, labour law covers both the individual and
collective labour law and various role-players are involved. These role-players include trade
unions, employers/companies, employees, and the state. The various relationships
between these parties, ultimately, are what guides a certain outcome if there is a power
play between them.
In 1995 the South African labour market was transformed by the introduction of the
Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995. The LRA remains the primary piece of labour legislation
that governs labour law in South Africa. The notion of industrial democracy and the
transformation of the workplace are central issues in South African labour law. The
constitutional change that have taken place in South Africa, by which the protection of
human rights and the democratisation of the workplace are advanced contributed to these
developments. Before the enactment of the LRA, employee participation and voice were
much-debated topics, locally and internationally. In considering employee participation, it
is essential to take due cognisance of both the labour and company law principles that are
pertinent: the need for workers to have a voice in the workplace and for employers to
manage their corporations. Employee participation and voice should be evident at different levels: from informationsharing
to consultation to joint decision-making. Corporations should enhance systems and
processes that facilitate employee participation and voice in decisions that affect
employees.
The primary research question under investigation is: What role should (and could)
employees play in corporate decision-making in South Africa? The main inquiry of the
thesis, therefore, is to explore the issue of granting a voice to employees in companies, in
particular, the role of employees in the decision-making processes of companies.
The thesis explores various options, including supervisory co-determination as well as
social co-determination, in order to find solutions that will facilitate the achievement of
employee participation and voice in companies in South Africa. / LLD, North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY, TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE AND BIODIVERSITY IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY: THE POTENTIAL OF GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATIONS FOR PROTECTING TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE-BASED AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTSDagne, Teshager Worku 01 March 2012 (has links)
The relationship between international regimes regulating intellectual property, traditional knowledge and biodiversity has received much attention in recent times. Of the many complex and controversial issues in contemporary international legal discourse on this matter, the protection of traditional knowledge (TK) stands out as a significant challenge. Choices abound in the search for modalities to regulate rights to use and control TK systems and their underlying biodiversity.
In recent times, the protection of geographical indications (GIs) has emerged as an option for protecting TK. Despite the considerable enthusiasm over it, there is appreciable research dearth on how far and in what context GIs can be used as a protection model. Indeed, not only is the concept of GIs itself widely misunderstood. As well, analyses as to their applicability for protecting TK often reflect underlying cultural differences in the nature, scope and the jurisprudence regarding GIs across jurisdictions.
This thesis examines the relationship between GIs and TK, focusing on the responsiveness of GIs to the needs and desires of indigenous peoples and local communities (ILCs). The thesis posits that the search for a model to protect TK should involve identifying different modalities, including those based on intellectual property, to fit to the nature and uses of TK in particular contexts. The analysis conceptualizes GIs as a form of IP that are structurally and functionally suitable to protect aspects of TK in traditional knowledge-based agricultural products (TKBAPs).
Substantively, the thesis draws attention to the conceptual underpinnings of GIs as encompassing cultural and economic objectives in the protection of TK. As such, it is argued that stronger protection of GIs should be achieved by integrating the negotiations and discussion concerning GIs and TK at the international level. Further, the case is made for the determination of immediate challenges and long-term opportunities in choosing a legal means for protecting GIs at the national level. In this connection, the thesis suggests that the potential of GIs to meet national and local imperatives to protect TK be assessed, inter alia, based on their instrumentality for economic, biodiversity, cultural and food security objectives in protecting TKBAPs.

Exploring the feasibility of foster care as a primary permanency option for orphansThiele, Shelley 08 1900 (has links)
In the wake of the HIV/AIDS pandemic, welfare organisations in Vryheid situated in northern KwaZulu-Natal have noted dramatic increases in requests for foster care placements for orphaned children. In many instances, orphans have lived by private arrangement with extended families for several years. However, families are increasingly overwhelmed with the burden of overextending scarce resources, forcing them to seek welfare assistance.
Community-based responses to the crisis are regarded as top priority. This study examines literature regarding child care alternatives for orphans, focussing on foster care as the primary option. A study was conducted which explored community perceptions towards the local orphan crisis and foster care in particular. Findings revealed that although the adage 'Blood is thicker than water' still applies, foster care cannot stand alone. Alternate forms of care-giving need to be found to avoid plunging orphan care into further crisis. / Social work / M.A.(Social Science (Mental Health))

Web applications using the Google Web Toolkit / Webanwendungen unter Verwendung des Google Web Toolkitsvon Wenckstern, Michael 04 June 2013 (has links) (PDF)
This diploma thesis describes how to create or convert traditional Java programs to desktop-like rich internet applications with the Google Web Toolkit.
The Google Web Toolkit is an open source development environment, which translates Java code to browser and device independent HTML and JavaScript.
Most of the GWT framework parts, including the Java to JavaScript compiler as well as important security issues of websites will be introduced.
The famous Agricola board game will be implemented in the Model-View-Presenter pattern to show that complex user interfaces can be created with the Google Web Toolkit.
The Google Web Toolkit framework will be compared with the JavaServer Faces one to find out which toolkit is the right one for the next web project. / Diese Diplomarbeit beschreibt die Erzeugung desktopähnlicher Anwendungen mit dem Google Web Toolkit und die Umwandlung klassischer Java-Programme in diese.
Das Google Web Toolkit ist eine Open-Source-Entwicklungsumgebung, die Java-Code in browserunabhängiges als auch in geräteübergreifendes HTML und JavaScript übersetzt.
Vorgestellt wird der Großteil des GWT Frameworks inklusive des Java zu JavaScript-Compilers sowie wichtige Sicherheitsaspekte von Internetseiten.
Um zu zeigen, dass auch komplizierte graphische Oberflächen mit dem Google Web Toolkit erzeugt werden können, wird das bekannte Brettspiel Agricola mittels Model-View-Presenter Designmuster implementiert.
Zur Ermittlung der richtigen Technologie für das nächste Webprojekt findet ein Vergleich zwischen dem Google Web Toolkit und JavaServer Faces statt.
