description:
The interventions related to strengthening the relationship between management and labour through social dialogue has shown positive results in two cases, i.e. one at the DCT that significantly improved the productivity and another at the Port of Richards Bay that assisted in resolving the issue of casual labour. Considering the nature of the labour-management relationships in South Africa and the effects thereof on the country's productivity, there is a great merit in rolling out these initiatives at other ports and in other business units at the existing ports, for example the National Port Authority. Furthermore, considering that the ports do not operate independently of other businesses and their performance to some degree is reliant on performance of upstream businesses, there is a merit in considering rolling out of these activities into the other transport-related industries, such freight rail.
