Managing Trade Unions in SA

What rights do employers have when their staff join a trade union which then contacts the company demanding certain rights.  This practical e-course answers this question and many more, with reference to case law.  This interactive e-course explains everything employers need to know about shop steward rights, when trade unions must be allowed to enter a workplace, when employers must deduct union susbcriptions, and all aspects of employer rights when faced with a unionised workplace.
