Defining majoritarianism and workplace
On 24 November 2016 at 10h00, the Constitutional Court will hear an application for leave to appeal against a judgment and order of the Labour Appeal Court (LAC). At issue is the question whether members of the Association of Mineworkers and Constitution Union (AMCU) were prohibited from striking by an agreement concluded between the Chamber of Mines (Chamber) and other unions. The case concerns the principle of majoritarianism in the workplace, and how it is applied.
