Question 1:
Role-players in the employment relationship From the information provided in NUMSA’s notice, identify
the representatives of the primary role-players in this specific sector/industry. Examine the roles of these
representatives within the organisation, industry and the broader South African labour relations
landscape. Assess the importance and efficacy of these representatives in navigating the employment
relations dynamics in South Africa, taking into account the specific sector/industry. [15]
