The organisation that is today known as the National Bargaining Council for the Road Freight Industry (NBCRFI) has been in existence since 1946. It has, over the years, undergone a number of permutations primarily in accordance with the laws of the day.
In its current form Council is governed the Labour Relations Act of 1995, which allows for employers and employee organizations, respectively, to establish a bargaining council. This legislation empowers trade unions and employers’ organizations to negotiation matters that are of mutual interest to their specific industry or sector. The strength of this approach lies in the fact that it is conducive to better regulation of matters which affect the sector as a whole, allowing for minimum standards and conditions of employment within said sector.
