Thesis (MTech (Human Resource Management))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2018. / The principle of the right to strike is internationally documented, as determined by the Committee on Freedom of Association. In South Africa, the right to strike is enshrined and protected in Section 23 of the country's Constitution under its Bill of Rights. Under specific circumstances, the Constitution allows for legislation to limit a right listed in Section 23. At the same time, the Constitution guarantees that everyone has the right to life and health care services. South African industrial action is regulated by the Labour Relations Act (LRA) No. 66 of 1995, as amended, which precludes workers who are employed in essential services from striking, because interruption of these services may endanger lives. However, the LRA also provides for the conclusion of a Minimum Service Agreement (MSA), where minimum services replace essential services. No MSA has been ratified since the LRA was promulgated in 1995. It is on this premise that the author investigated the mechanisms which have been put in place to create a balance between the right to strike and the need to provide essential services in the event of a strike. This study used a qualitative research design. Open-ended questionnaires were distributed to the target research sample. Purposive sampling was applied to a total of 30 participants who were selected from the Western Cape Department of Health's essential services. The qualitative data was analysed using theme identification to make sense of the findings. The research results reveal that employees who are providing essential services have the right to strike only if certain conditions are met. One of these conditions is the conclusion of a Minimum Service Agreement (MSA) to ensure a balance between the rights of health workers to strike and the rights of citizens to be provided with health care services. This agreement provides the duties and responsibilities of the employer and employees for the continuation of minimum services in the event of a public sector strike to ensure that service delivery is not interrupted. Specific recommendations are made by the researcher regarding the MSA, and measures are discussed to ensure that the minimum services within essential services remain operational in the event of a public sector strike.

O pano de fundo do caso trata da análise dos dilemas que o gestor público enfrenta ao deparar-se com situações de conflito ou trade off, as quais quase todas as alternativas de solução dos impasses podem resultar em consequências negativas. A narrativa do caso dar-se-á numa audiência pública - que de fato aconteceu, entretanto foi realizada pelo prefeito da Cidade do Rio de Janeiro e não pelo governador do Estado - onde um grupo de quatro professores da rede estadual de ensino debate a conduta do governador enquanto gestor público (aqui, uma ficção). Nesse contexto, duas professoras mostram-se claramente contrárias a figura do gestor, oferecendo visões estereotipadas e particulares. De outro lado, os demais professores buscam entender os motivos de medidas ou ações impopulares, tendo como referência real as manifestações populares espalhadas pelo país entre os meses de junho e outubro de 2013.

From the conception that the strikes have a cyclical character, determination of complex and changeable, this study shows the weight that the variable pay - traditionally seen as the main determinant of strikes - has in determining the conflict at different times given. The salary issue is in Brazil and the world's central theme of labor relations, but is not, in most cases, the main determinant of the phenomenon striker. In the theories of collective action and strikes a set of variables competes in explanatory power. In Brazil, for example, from the inaugural 1978 strikes, most of the demands of national strikes have been directly or indirectly pay, it does not presume that only wages could explain the reduction or expansion in the number of strikes. Through a mapping of national and international discussion of the topic and theoretical and methodological assumptions that guide this work, we try to compare the weight given to variable pay relative to other explanatory variables such as inflation and unemployment in determining the conflict industrial. To achieve this purpose, is part of the main explanations of cycles European, American, Latin American and national strikes, the authors grouped according to year and location of the debate. But this general observation hides different approaches that establish causal relationships or no causation between the variables considered. Thus, the American model said the strikes fall when unemployment is rising which is not shown to be true for Europe. On this continent, the wages seem to figure in the background, sometimes as a result of unemployment, as shown by the Danish case. In Brazil noted that the wages figured in the foreground and led to the outbreak of strikes in 1978 does not mean that they explain, by itself, the expansion or reduction of labor. / Esta pesquisa visa aos estudos de greves e ação coletiva no Brasil. A partir da concepção de que as greves têm um caráter cíclico, de determinação complexa e mutável, este estudo aponta o peso que a variável salário - tradicionalmente examinada pela literatura, tem na determinação dos conflitos, em diferentes tempos dados. A questão salarial é no Brasil e no mundo o tema central das relações de trabalho, porém não é, na maior parte dos casos, o principal determinante do fenômeno grevista. Nas teorias de ação coletiva e de greves um conjunto de variáveis concorre em poder explicativo. Por meio de um mapeamento da discussão internacional e nacional do tema e dos pressupostos teóricos e metodológicos que norteiam esses trabalhos, busca-se a comparação do peso dado à variável salário em relação a outras variáveis explicativas, como inflação e desemprego, na determinação do conflito industrial. Para atingir o objetivo proposto, parte-se das principais explicações dos ciclos europeus, americanos, latinoamericanos de greves, agrupando os autores segundo o ano e a localidade do debate. A análise que emerge deste estudo aponta primeiramente para a consideração geral de que variáveis microeconômicas ou macroeconômicas e sociopolíticas operam diferentemente em contextos diferentes. Mas essa constatação genérica esconde diferentes abordagens que estabelecem relações de causalidade ou de não causalidade entre as variáveis consideradas. Assim, modelos americanos afirmaram que as greves caem quando o desemprego aumenta o que não mostrou ser verdadeiro para a Europa. Neste continente, questões salariais pareceram figurar em segundo plano, às vezes em decorrência do desemprego, como mostrou o caso dinamarquês. No Brasil constatar que questões salariais figuraram em primeiro plano e motivaram a eclosão das greves em 1978 não significa dizer que elas expliquem, por si só, a expansão ou a redução do conflito trabalhista.

Conflict is an inherent part of any service relationship, and is one of the important methods of effective organisational functioning. Depending on its management, it has both constructive and negative outcomes. The most extreme outcome of conflict in an industrial relationship is a strike. The South African Public Service strike of 2007 was the most protracted and united strike in the history of South Africa. In order to provide an insight into this strike, this treatise explores the following key aspects: • To present a short background of collective bargaining in the public sector through time. • To provide a short background to the public sector strike in 2007. • To develop a conflict model for analytic purposes based on a literature review and to use the conflict model to analyse the strike. A study of the strike was deemed essential because of its current nature and it being charged with political undertones. Moreover, conflict in the employment relationship has had an important influence on theories of industrial relations. The South African labour relations system is pluralist in nature, with a focus on the formal institutions of industrial relations. The focus should be on the motives and actions of parties in the employment relationship. Hence, one should look beyond conventional explanations in understanding conflict.
