Abstract

Work wellnessWellness work can be differentiated between employee and relationalWellness relational wellness. The impact of psychological contract breachPsychological contract breach with work wellness was explored in this chapter, as well as the link between industrial action and work wellness. Labour relations management deals with decision-making and behaviour regarding aspects such as trade unions and other forms of worker representation and participation, the rights and duties of the employer and employees and their representatives, how to deal with matters concerning conflicts and disputes, and also co-operation with unions, as well as how the organisation will relate to other organisations, such as employer organisations or associations. The focus of labour relations management was primarily on the collective, conflicting and formal dimensions of employment relations. The individual dimension is also covered in aspects such as the rights of the employee regarding fair treatment, accommodationAccommodation , annual leaveWorking conditions annual leave , certificate of serviceWorking conditions certificate of service , family responsibility leaveWorking conditions family responsibility leave , freedomWorking conditions freedom of association of associationFreedom of association , maternity leaveWorking conditions maternity leave , notice of terminationWorking conditions termination of employment of employment, paymentWorking conditions payment on termination of employment, prescribed days off, remunerationWorking conditions remuneration due, safeWorking conditions safe working conditions, sick leaveWorking conditions sick leave and the right to strikeIndustrial actions right to strike . As in most industrialised countries, South African trade unions are facing a decline in their political and industrial influence in general (Fairbrother and Yates 2003). This does not, as such, influence the levels of industrial actions, but even seems to increase it. In South Africa, some burning issues associated with industrial actions exist, which were analysed in this chapter.
