South Africa's Labour Relations Act of 1995 ("LRA") regulates the relationship between trade unions and employers. It guarantees basic organizational rights to trade unions where they previously had none. It simplifies the procedures required for industrial action to be lawful. It delineates in what circumstances industrial action is and is not permitted.
