MBOWENI: LABOUR BUDGET VOTE, NA
During this period we have prioritised initiatives in the areas of skills development, dispute prevention and settlement, labour relations, inspection and advisory services, occupational health and safety, and labour policy. This includes the Advisory Council on Occupational Health and Safety, the Compensation Board, the National Training Board, the Unemployment National Board, and the Wage Board. We reject the simple equation that job creation is simply, or even mainly, a matter of labour ... [highlighted result]

MBOWENI: CABINET APPROVES SKILLS BILL
Let me give you some examples: skills for workers facing retrenchment; skills development needed to entice 'potential' employers such as a foreign or domestic investors into new areas, skills for people in very small businesses, skills for young people trying to enter a new career through a learnership and for community development programmes. However, given that the National Skills Fund is something like a skill insurance policy against tough and risky times - government believes that all ... [highlighted result]

Minister of Labour, Tito Mboweni, said at the NEDLAC Summit on 16 May 1998 at Gallagher Estate in Midrand that democracy was finally achieved in South Africa just over four years ago. The Comprehensive Labour Market Commission, back in June 1996, specifically identified the need to ensure that macro-economic policies, industry policies and labour market policies work together for employment growth. The issue was raised in the negotiations on the Skills Development Bill - should NEDLAC or the ... [highlighted result]

You have thrown the problems in the gold mining industry into sharp focus. You have forced Government and employers, not to mention workers, to pay special attention to the crisis. As Government we have six basic points for dealing with the gold mining crisis. [highlighted result]

MIN MBOWENI: LAUNCH OF THE EMPLOYMENT EQUITY BILL
This discrimination against black people - and by black we mean African, Coloured and Indian people - was combined with discrimination against women and people with disabilities. The Labour Market Commission, which conducted an extensive investigation into South African labour market trends in 1996, found that South Africa's skewed income distribution - the most unequal in the world - was reflected in the fact that 20 percent of income earners capture only 1,5 percent of the national income. ...

As required by the Labour Relations Act, I have to submit to Parliament an Annual Report of the CCMA. This report details the work and activities of the CCMA since its establishment last year. The CCMA is one of the most central of institutions created by the Labour Relations Act. Others of significance are: workplace forums, bargaining councils, statutory councils, the Labour Courts and the Essential Services Committee. [highlighted result]

MIN MBOWENI: NATIONAL BARGAINING CONFERENCE OF CHEMICAL WORKERS INDUSTRIAL UNION
The third labour market issue I want to address is that of efficiency of the labour market. Only by negotiating and finding an agreed way of enhancing both labour market efficiency and security within the labour market can we reap the economic advantages. But there are undoubtedly areas where labour market inflexibility needs to be tackled and areas where labour security needs to be enhanced. [highlighted result]

MIN MBOWENI: BUDGET DEBATE ON THE 1997/1998
In the debate about labour market policy there are indeed many defunct economists who call for deregulation as the way to improve flexibility and, through that, job creation. We will support policies and activities which encourage greater and more productive use of labour, without undermining worker security and basic employment conditions. Job creation flows from the investment structure and macro-economic policies, which define demand for labour. [highlighted result]

MIN MBOWENI: NUMSA - NATIONAL BARGAINING CONFERENCE
There s also, and I made this point at the launch of the Green Paper on Skills Development, an important connection between labour market polices and industry policy on the one hand, and macroeconomics policy on the other. As far as national co-ordination is concerned we are proposing that the National Training Board's name is changed to the National Skills Authority in order to convey a major set of new areas in which it is to operate. For example, we say that production workers have not had... [highlighted result]

MIN MBOWENI: THE LABOUR MARKET AND GEAR
GEAR identifies these imperatives as the need to improve labour relations, to increase flexibility, raise productivity and to overcome fragmentation in the labour relations system. But this regulatory framework did not extend to African workers in agriculture, mining and domestic labour - more than a third of the formal labour force for whom major labour laws simply did not apply. The new Labour Relations Act has already established one labour law for all workers. [highlighted result]

The Commission will be proposing a framework for labour market policy and has addressed the relationship between macroeconomic and labour market policies and trends. Considerable attention has been focused on the labour market and labour market policy in the recent past. Certainly, the institutions, regulations and conduct of labour market and labour relations policy have a major impact on the performance of the labour market. [highlighted result]

Productivity enhancement is central to our Reconstruction and Development Programme; it is an essential under-riding objective of this government. Accordingly policies and programmes to enhance productivity are by no means confined to the labour market and the industrial relations systems alone. This is clearly important at the level of the individual firm where workers and owners must both benefit from the productivity gain - workers must benefit in order to encourage their continued ...

And it has been deeply involved, both through Business South Africa and in its own right, in our ongoing attempts to restructure labour policy and labour markets. The Department of Labour and the new democratic government are committed to transforming the world of work in South Africa. The Department of Labour accepts the need for minimum labour standards, partly to prevent socially unacceptable practices and partly to deal with some of the extremes of poverty in the workplace.
