Road Freight Industry Employment Handbook 2010
Your essential guide to employment practice, labour law and the industry's agreements

An authoritative, complete and up-to-date guide to employment practice and labour law in the South African road freight industry, this no-nonsense guide, is invaluable for transport operators big and small, from local couriers to long haulage contractors. It is also of interest to trade union representatives and puts an immense mass of information into a coherent and practical format. Originally compiled as the Road Freight Industry Employers' Digest in 1999, it combines in one publication, the Agreements and conditions of service applicable in the industry, incorporating all amendments. It is also the most convenient way of ensuring compliance with Section 204 of the Labour Relations Act, and Clause 44 of the Main Agreement which require employers to keep copies of collective agreements on their premises and to make them available to employees. Published annually, it provides updated text of all the Agreements giving a full historic reference of all the amendments since the Main Agreement was gazetted and is an indispensable source of reference for employers and unions.
