Book Description
This dissertation aimed at identifying and explaining why trade unions in Mauritius have lost their influence in the contemporary workplace context. After being vibrant during the buoyant period of the 1970s, trade unions now face challenges that they must justly consider to enable them develop in todays society. This phenomenon is global and affects both advanced and developing economies from a workplace perspective. The study examined why trade unions lost their influence over employees, members and society. It identified that trade union influence was on the decline and, if unions maintained the same structure and objectives that focused mainly on member recruitment and disputes over pay, they would not survive in the current and forthcoming conditions since there is better employee education, legal framework supporting employees and wider use of technology. The Employee Relations Act 2008 served as a background with new developments in favour of the employee but unions contested key provisions it made. The research conducted with a systematically organised sample of some 100 respondents, confirmed that unions, both public and private, had to focus on strategic factors and that these would determine their success. The findings showed that if unions followed key strategies for their survival, namely innovation in communication, leadership, female empowerment, social partnership, union rationalisation and focus on globalisation, they would secure better chances to remain relevant and maintain their credibility among the stakeholders of employee relations, in particular, employees, employers and government. A model and recommendations were developed that could lead to ensuring the success and survival of trade unions in Mauritius in the years to come.

Book Description
Traditionally, studies of employment relations in Africa have been dominated by the role of trade unions and how they collectively influence relationships within the workplace. A contemporary African outlook into the state of employment relations shows that there has been a shift in the dominance of trade unions. This edited collection considers the role of government actors and workers’ experiences in both unionised and non-unionised organisations. It seeks to understand how international and national labour markets, including national and international employment actors and institutions, affect employment relations and the ways in which these relationships play out in different national contexts.Researchers, students, policymakers and practitioners working around employment relations in Africa will find this book an essential tool, particularly those with an interest in comparative and international programmes across areas such as employment relations, industrial relations, human resource management, political economy, labour politics, industrial and economic sociology, regulation and social policy.

Book Description
There is a fact that trade union have not functioned optimally. A conducive atmosphere is needed to build a trade union. When a conducive atmosphere has been established, then the trade union will be able to implement their efforts in improving the quality of industrial relations. Improving the quality of industrial relations is strongly influenced by the condition of labor climate. The labor climate is also influenced by the political form of labor law. The purpose of the research is to analyze the substance and procedure of regulating trade union to improve the quality of conducive industrial relationship in the climate change of worker. The method used in this research is legal normative using statute approach. The result of the study is that there was a mal interpretation on regulating the substance and procedure of trade union to improve the quality of conducive industrial relationship in the climate change of labor. In the substance of the subject matter analysis, there was a a mal interpretation on the status of workers who could form a trade union. In object analysis, there was a a mal interpretation on the regulatory rights setting of the trade union. In procedural analysis, there was a a mal interpretation on regulation of forming procedures and establishing trade union. As a result of the existence of a mal interpretations on substance and procedure, the role of trade union in an effort to improve the quality of conducive industrial relationship in the climate change of labor has not been maximized. The conclusion that could be drawn is that there was a a mal interpretation on regulation of substance and procedure of trade union as the effort to improve the quality of conducive industrial relationship in the climate change of labor has not been maximal yet. The recommendation is to revise the terms of the trade union by adjusting to more open labor climate change.
