Undocumented migrants and the right to fair labour practices

Nkuna, Phetheni Miehleketo January 2019 (has links)
The mini-dissertation focuses on the constitutional right to fair labour practices in relation to undocumented migrants within the South African workplace. Section 23 of the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995, as amended, gives expression to this right together with other employment laws of the Republic. The study undertakes a literary review of the domestic Immigration Act, Refugees Act and Labour Relations Act, being the primary legislation regulating the entry, presence and rights of foreigners within the Republic. Although undocumented migrants are recognised as employees for purposes of the Labour Relations Act, an employment relationship entered into in contravention of a statute is proscribed. Continuing such a relationship would attract criminal sanction and fines for the employer. The only aspect of the right to fair labour practices enjoyed by undocumented migrants is the right to procedural fairness when dismissed. This is probably a contributing factor to the very minimal data available on undocumented foreigners with the boarders of the Republic. They fear arrest detention and deportation, whilst their employers fear the consequences of contravening the law which may in certain circumstances include imprisonment. This study further examines domestic, regional and international norms from the perspective of the International Labour Organisation, United Nations, African Union and Southern African Development Community. These organisations advocate for the protection of the human rights of all migrants, including undocumented migrants in the workplace. A close scrutiny of states such as South Africa, Kenya, United States of America and the Netherlands shows that protection, if any, if only afforded to documented migrants. The only fate that awaits undocumented migrants is arrest, detention and deportation. It is for this reason that they obtain employment in informal sectors, often leaving them vulnerable to exploitation and abuse. Oftentimes they are susceptible to a violation of both their employment and human rights. In conclusion, this study provides recommendations that can be made to address the plight of undocumented migrants in the South African workplace. / Mini Dissertation (LLM)--University of Pretoria, 2019. / Private Law / LLM / Unrestricted

A Proposal That the City Manager Form of Government be Adopted in Logan, Utah

Benson, Serge N. 01 May 1977 (has links)
Logan, Utah has a number of organizational and procedural problems, as do many other American cities. This study was initiated with the hope that some system could be ascertained that would solve or alleviate most of these problems. The history and development of the City Manager Plan of Government was researched thoroughly and a number of cities with the plan in operation in whole, or in part, were studied. The conclusion was that Logan, Utah would substantially improve the efficiency of its operations as a whole if it adopted the City Manager Plan. This thesis is of the advocacy type, as the author was convinced early in the study that Logan could resolve many of its problems and gain stature among cities by assuming a more business-like stance in the business end of its operations.

Proposal Editing in University Research Administration

January 2019 (has links)
abstract: This project presents a mixed methods analysis of proposal editing in sponsored research administration at U.S.-based universities. As sponsored research funding has become increasingly competitive, universities have sought to support their faculty and research infrastructure by offering proposal editing services as a component of the proposal development process. However, the relative newness of proposal and research development as fields, combined with prior studies that show a general lack of research into proposal editing and faculty perceptions of proposal development resources, mean that these areas can benefit from additional focused research. This study aimed to answer two primary research questions: How do universities approach and offer proposal editing as a component of the proposal development process, and what are faculty reactions to editing services as a resource during that same process? The study consisted of two components: a survey of 32 faculty members' perceptions of editing services as an element of their proposal development, and interviews with ten research administrators and editors to discuss how editing services function within the proposal preparation process. Despite a small sample size and disciplinary homogeneity, the survey results showed that demand for institutionally provided editing services varies by research field and activity level, but that faculty showed noticeable interest in at least having the option of an editor reviewing their proposals prior to submission. Interview participants agreed that faculty who are new or early in their careers, along with faculty who speak English as a second language, are especially interested in receiving editing services. Editors themselves provide various levels of edit, dependent on their own backgrounds, editing timelines, and faculty receptiveness to the edits. When provided, edits focus on compliance and grammar, but deeper edits help academic styles of writing transition into more persuasive grant writing styles to strategically position the proposal. As proposal editing services become more widespread as a way of supporting faculty and increasingly proposal quality and success, universities should implement editing services according to faculty demand and needs. Careful implementation can ensure that editing services fully support faculty while making a meaningful impact on a university's research development strategies and goals. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Technical Communication 2019

Societas Unius Personae : Is there a need for a new European company form?

Abosh, Shilan January 2015 (has links)
In 2008, the European Commission proposed a regulation for a new European private company, called the Societas Privata Europeaea. This proposal did not get unanimous approval and was therefore withdrawn after five years of attempt to find a compromise. In 2014, the European Commission proposed a directive on single-member private limited liability companies, called the Societas Unius Personae. The aims of the new proposal have a few similarities as the European private company, as will be mentioned in the introduction. However, the proposed directive introduces a few changes, which the European Commission hopes will make this proposal successful. The purpose with this thesis is mainly to examine whether there is a need of a new European company form on the market today. The conclusion is taken by examining who would benefit the most with this company form. This thesis contains an explanation of the proposed directive, a comparison between this new company form and the corresponding Swedish company, as well as opinions on this directive. In the end there is a discussion regarding this subject and lastly my conclusions. The result has shown that there are still great amount of uncertainties that are in need of further discussion in order for this proposal to eventually pass unanimous consent. My conclusions are that there is not an urgent need of a new European company form on the market right now. However, it is a work in progress, and I believe a European company form like this one is a good way towards the aim of uniting the Member States of the European Union.

Grant Proposal Writing: A Case Study of an International Postdoctoral Researcher

Strickland, Clyde William 09 October 2008 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / The subject of this case study is an international postdoc, a principal investigator of a large medical research laboratory. The study’s objective: examine the systematic process of writing a grant proposal in L2 English from start to finish. Obtaining original computer files exempt from being saved-over became a significant obstacle in examining the systematic process. Ethnographic data reveal pedagogical implications for L2 instruction in grasping the big picture, summarizing to fit word limitations, understanding the application process, familiarity of the grant genre of a specific discipline, and the skills to network with peers. This study opens the door to further studies that might provide a better window of understanding in the systematic writing process of an international postdoctoral’s grant proposal.

Describing the business decision-making process for evaluating cricket sponsorship proposals / Alida Johanna Coetzee

Coetzee, Alida Johanna January 2011 (has links)
One of the major challenges facing cricket unions today is getting adequate funding; on the other hand, one of the challenges facing businesses are the hundreds of unsolicited sponsorship proposals they receive annually. This study investigated the business decision-making process for selecting sponsorship proposals, specifically to contribute to the cricket unions’ understanding of the formal selection process that the sponsorship proposal goes through. The primary objective of the study was to determine the degree to which businesses follow the decision-making process when selecting a sponsorship opportunity. The research study was based on a descriptive research design. First, a theoretical discussion of sponsorship within the marketing communication mix was conducted to illustrate that a sponsorship is a product that the business must purchase, and therefore they use the decision-making process to choose among different sponsorship opportunities. The business decision-making process was discussed in further detail for selecting sponsorship proposals. Primary data was collected by means of a web-based questionnaire. A convenience sample was used to distribute the questionnaire to sponsors of the sixteen cricket unions in South Africa. The nature of a sponsorship relationship is rather sensitive; therefore a complete list of all the sponsors could not be compiled. A total of 39 respondents participated in the study. The sample was not representative, and therefore the results are only valid for those respondents who participated in the study. The results indicated that respondents were most likely to set product/brand/service objectives and media objectives for their sponsorships. All the sponsorship objectives are equally important to the respondents from the medium and large sponsors, except for guest hospitality objectives which are deemed more important by large sponsors than the respondents from medium sponsors. With regard to decision-making criteria, respondents found positioning/image criteria as very important during a sponsorship decision. The role-players identified by the respondents who most frequently participate in the decision-making process are the marketing manager, public relations manager, CEO or owner. With regard to the degree to which businesses follow the decisionmaking process, it was found that large sponsors are more likely to follow a fairly formal evaluation process than medium sponsors. It is recommended that cricket unions need to focus on the decision-making criteria and objectives that are deemed important by sponsors, and that they should also include these aspects in their sponsorship proposals. With regard to medium and large sponsors, cricket unions should focus on providing large sponsors with more guest hospitality opportunities; they must also prepare their proposals for a formal decision-making process as compared the less formal approach followed by medium sponsors when reviewing sponsorship applications. Recommendations for future research include that a similar study should be conducted with a large sample size, to be able to identify if statistical significant differences do exist for different size sponsors. A probability sample should be used, to be able to obtain data that is representative of the entire population. The limitations of the study, such as financial and time constraints, prevented from achieving all the recommendations for future research set out above. / Thesis (M.Com.
