Mzansi Workers Association (‘MWA’) is a trade union with members
employed by both RR Manufacturers (‘RRM’) and SS Gas (Pty) Ltd
(‘SSG’). SSG supplies RRM with gas which RRM uses to manufacture its
products. After members of MWA employed by SSG heard that members
of MWA employed by RRM are on strike due to a dispute relating to their
shift system, they also decide to go on strike to support employees of RRM
who are on strike. Discuss the nature of the strike which employees of SSG
want to engage in and the requirements which should be met for the strike
to be protected.
The scenario presented involves a secondary or solidarity strike, where
employees of one company (SSG) want to strike in support of employees
of another company (RRM) who are already on strike. The legality and
protection of such a strike are governed by the Labour Relations Act 66 of
1995 (LRA).
Nature of the Strike
The strike by SSG employees in support of RRM employees is a secondary
or solidarity strike. A secondary strike is defined in Section 66 of the LRA
as a strike by employees of one employer in support of a strike by
employees of another employer. In this case, the employees of SSG are
engaging in a strike to support the employees of RRM who are striking over
a dispute related to their shift system.
