About this publication
First published in 1996, Workplace Law has become one of the most widely used and frequently quoted text books on South African labour law. This 14th edition has been revised and supplemented to incorporate the latest case law, as well as recent amendments to labour legislation.
Workplace Law provides a complete overview of issues that have arisen and are likely to arise on the shop floor, in court and in arbitration proceedings – from unfair labour practices, through employment equity, dismissal and collective bargaining, to strikes. Students, HR and IR practitioners, lawyers, employers, employees and trade union officials will find this updated, comprehensive and reliable work a convenient and indispensable guide to a complex and fascinating area of law. Workplace Law is also available in electronic form in Juta’s Labour Law Library, where it is updated quarterly.
John Grogan BA(Hons)(Rhodes), B Iuris LLB (SA), LLM PhD (Rhodes) brought the experience gleaned from a quarter of a century’s involvement in labour law to bear on the production of this book.

Having left his position as Head and Professor of Law at Rhodes University to enter private practice as an advocate, Dr Grogan has been involved in many important cases as counsel, judge or arbitrator. He is also the author of Employment Rights, Dismissal, Collective Labour Law and Labour Litigation and Dispute Resolution, as well as of innumerable articles, and has served as acting judge in the Labour and High Courts and as senior commissioner of the CCMA and a number of bargaining councils.
