INTRODUCTION
The case of Ubuntu AutoTech South Africa (UASA) provides a clear example of how
labour relations, technological transformation, and organisational strategy are deeply
connected in today’s changing world of work. As UASA embraces automation and digital
innovation to stay globally competitive, it must also manage the impact of these changes
on its employees, trade unions, and workplace dynamics. This assignment explores
UASA’s labour relations strategy through multiple theoretical and practical lenses. It
critically compares different labour relations perspectives, examines the roles of key
stakeholders, and analyses the external environment affecting the automotive sector.
Furthermore, it considers how legislative changes, particularly the Employment Equity
Amendment Act of 2022, shape UASA’s obligations and strategic decisions. Finally, it
proposes ways to align UASA’s labour relations policies with the demands of the Fourth
Industrial Revolution. Understanding these interactions is essential to ensure that
transformation is both technologically progressive and socially just.
