dc.description.abstract | Developments in South African labour legislation since the inception of the new
democracy indicate serious attempts by the legislators to protect the interests of
employees. The Bill of Rights has, concurrently, enshrined a variety of fundamental
rights that, in principle, offer protection in the workplace. Despite this established,
protective legal framework, South African schools regularly witness incidents where
fundamental rights of educators are infringed. Numerous educators are currently
convinced that their rights are put second to the rights of learners, even in cases of
physical or psychological violence against them. Where ineffective enforcement of
legislation by the state occurs, educators’ security is undermined. This article
explores various ways of compelling the employer to enforce existing legislation effectively
against learner delinquency that may impact on the security of a specific
group of educators. The basic claim of the article is that industrial action by educators
in the form of localised strikes is feasible, provided that all other remedies
have been exhausted. It is concluded that justice should be visibly reinstated by the
state as employer, in all cases where educators’ right to security are violated | en_US |
