Unity for Workers Union (‘UFWU’) is a majority trade union
with members in Fancy Fabrics (Pty) Ltd (‘FF’), a company which
manufactures and sells clothing in all South African Provinces.
At the beginning of May 2024, UFWU and FF concluded a closed
shop agreement. With reference to the above draw a distinction
between 'centralised bargaining' and 'decentralised bargaining'.
In the context of labor relations and trade unions, centralized
bargaining and decentralized bargaining refer to different levels
at which collective bargaining takes place. Here’s how they
differ:
1. Centralized Bargaining
o Takes place at an industry-wide or sectoral level
rather than at an individual company level.
o Negotiations involve multiple employers (or
employer organizations) and multiple trade unions
that represent workers across an entire sector (e.g.,
the clothing and textile industry).
o The agreements reached apply to all employers and
workers within the sector, ensuring uniformity in
wages, benefits, and working conditions.
