Labour Law Updates - The Latest Decisions that can affect you
Presenters : Andrew Goldberg , DI Gibson
Overview
Labour law is constantly going through changes and developments, from new cases to new policies and ways to deal with issues and problems. We will look at the latest developments in individual and collective labour law.
Remaining relevant and informed about labour law is crucial, and how better to do this than through the case law. South Africa has a rich and progressive history of legal precedent, and many countries make use thereof.
During this case law webinar, Andrew Goldberg co-hosted by Di Gibson from Bev Loubser Attorneys will inform you of current and pending amendments to the labour structure brought about via the interpretation of the case law. We will consider the employment relationship. We will give you the take-home key points of the latest case law. We will also give you an insight into what type of cases will be considered and where the case law is going.
