Relevant Provisions of South African Labour Legislation
Governing the Extension of Main Agreements
In South Africa, the extension of Main Agreements (collective
agreements) to non-party employers and employees is governed
primarily by the Labour Relations Act (LRA), specifically
under the following provisions:
1. Section 32 of the Labour Relations Act (LRA)
, • Section 32 allows for the extension of collective
agreements to non-parties if the agreement is concluded by
a representative trade union and employers' organization.
• This section empowers the Minister of Employment and
Labour to extend a collective agreement to non-parties in a
sector if the agreement meets certain criteria. The aim is to
ensure uniformity and fairness in employment practices
within that sector.
Key Points:
• The agreement must be concluded by trade unions and
employer organizations that represent the majority of
employees and employers in that sector.
• The Minister can extend the agreement if it is necessary to
promote fair treatment and better working conditions across
the industry.
• The extension should align with the principle of fairness
and not unfairly disadvantage non-parties.
2. Section 23 of the Labour Relations Act (LRA)
• Section 23 deals with the provisions of collective
agreements and their application. It stipulates that
agreements should be made in writing and be registered
with the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation, and
Arbitration (CCMA) or a bargaining council.
• This section ensures that agreements are formally
recognized and provides a framework for extending their
applicability.
