Opvoeders in landelike skole se kennis van onbillike arbeidspraktyke

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the post level I CS-educators' knowledge of their rights and duties in respect of unfair labour practice. The specific aim was to determine educators' knowledge of unfair labour practices in terms of the literature study.

The method of research was based on interviews with post level I CS-educators in rural primary schools. The interviews consisted of structured questions of which the format as well as the order was determined beforehand. No coaching was given to respondents because it may have compromised their answers.

The sample consists often educators (five males and five females) who teach in rural schools. In this way a fair opportunity was granted to both groups to be included in the sample. The researcher is of the opinion that this is a reasonable representation of the total sub population.

From the empirical research it was evident that educators in rural schools had a vague knowledge of unfair labour practices. Shortcomings that were apparent from this study was addressed, recommendations were made, as well as possible future research on related topics was discussed.
