Section 26 of the Labour Relations Act 95 of 1996 makes provision for the
introduction of closed shop agreements at the workplace between majority
unions and employers. All employees covered by such agreements are
required to be members of such unions or otherwise face the possibility of
dismissal. "Conscientious objector" employees are an exception to this
rule. The purpose of this submission is to investigate the constitutional
validity of s26 in the light of the fundamental right to freedom of association
in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1 996 whilst investigating
the position of "conscientious objectors" in certain foreign jurisdictions. / Thesis (LL.M. (Labour Law))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2006.
