THE CCMA DOES NOT HAND OUT LICIENCES TO STRIKE
CCMA Revolutionizing Workplace Relations
9
The CCMA’s role in the labour market is not to prevent strikes but
to ensure that it provides an avenue for parties to continue negotiations to ensure labour market stability and promote industrial peace.
The CCMA monitors labour market developments through a labour
market monitoring tool that ensures that collective bargaining disputes are tracked to ensure that appropriate offers to assist are extended.
The CCMA will also offer assistance in unprotected strikes to firstly
assist in ensuring a return to work and ensure parties are kept in process to deal with the issues.
STRIKE STRIKE STRIKE

10
Any party to a dispute about a matter of mutual interest may refer such to
the CCMA (S134 of the LRA)
The CCMA has 30 days to resolve the dispute or parties may agree to an
extension.
If the dispute remains unresolved, either party may give 48 hours’ notice of
strike or lockout.
In terms of S150, the CCMA may offer to resolve a dispute through
Conciliation, if resolution of the dispute would be in the public interest:
Assistance may be requested by either party or by an offer extended to all
parties by the CCMA.
S150 offers of assistance may only proceed with both parties consent
(in writing).
PICKETING RULES
CCMA Revolutionizing Workplace Relations
11
Parties may approach the CCMA to attempt to agree picketing rules (S69
LRA).
If no agreement reached the CCMA must establish or set picketing rules. The Code of Good Practice for Picketing established by NEDLAC, must be
taken into account when establishing picketing rules.
A picket may be held-
In any place to which the public has access but outside the premises of an employer; or With the permission of the employer, inside the employer’s premises. The permission
may not be unreasonably withheld.

OPERATING IN A CHANGING ENVIRONMENT
CCMA’s role since 2011 has increasingly focused on verification
exercises and pronouncing on representivity;
There has been an increase in inter-union rivalry, unprotected strikes
and the coalescing of workplace and community demands;
The CCMA has responded with dynamic flexibility and have decisively
and responsibly intervened in workplace and sector conflicts to prevent further escalation;
The CCMA has supported Social Partners in their efforts to strengthen
collective bargaining and related systems of social dialogue ;
