The case against joint management-labour education

Pages 170-177 | Published online: 19 Dec 2011
 

Abstract

In a war torn society like South Africa the fact that you have completed a course where manager and unionist, black and white have worked together must seem a real achievement. How much of an achievement it is you as individuals will have to judge for yourselves. That is my starting point — the fact of the matter is that yours has been an individual experience. Its impact on wider industrial relations and the political turmoil within which we live is very much more limited. In fact I will go further and say that joint management-labour education in South Africa is at best a misdirected use of resources and at worst a subtle pursuit of management interests. This might sound very harsh and to many of you it may sound like sour grapes from a union education department. So let me make some initial points clear:
