Why Is Collective Bargaining Failing In South Africa? offers an extensive analysis of the current nature of collective bargaining in South Africa. Collective bargaining is failing in South Africa because the parties to the process have failed to seek ways of achieving inclusive social development and of balancing the requirements of a competitive economy, the imperative for employment creation and the achievement of an ecologically sustainable environment. This means that many of the inequalities in the labour market that were created by apartheid remain unaddressed.

Contents include:

• Business as an Agency for Change in South Africa – the Contested Meaning and Purpose of Collective Bargaining
• The Relevance of an Understanding of Normal and Deep-rooted Conflict to Collective Bargaining
• The Disjuncture between Employment Creation and Collective Bargaining in the Fourth Industrial Revolution
• Strikes, Rolling Mass Action and Civil Conflicts as Indicators of South Africa’s Unrest Proneness
• Stakeholder Fragmentation and Collective Bargaining in South Africa – the Interaction of Pathologies of Conflict and Poverty
• Implications, opportunities and recommendations.

This book will be of interest to businessmen and -women, trade unionists, human resources and industrial relations practitioners, policy makers, strategic planners, decision-makers, , employees, investors, religious leaders, politicians, academics, as well as concerned South Africans from all walks of life who are seeking to make South Africa a better place in which to live.

Dr Geoff Heald is a senior lecturer in negotiation at the University of the Witwatersrand Graduate School of Business Administration (Wits Business School) in Johannesburg, South Africa. Most recently, Geoff has been working on the African Negotiation Project (ANP) which entails negotiation research, education, training, conferencing and consulting for commercial, industrial relations and political negotiations across the continent of Africa.

The university, as a core institution of democratic society, is increasingly threatened by the intrusion of big business. Corporations are working their way into academe in subtle and obvious ways: granting of exclusive concessions rights on campus to a softdrink manufacturer; use of a major portion of the resources, faculty, and research efforts of university departments by a particular company in exchange for modest funding; university administrators whose salaries are often doubled for service on the boards of important corporate contributors. Compounding the problem is the growing scarcity of public funding, which makes universities vulnerable to the lure of big money from pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms, computer giants, and wealthy private donors.
Can faculty members remain independent under such heavy corporate influence? How does big money influence the direction of research? These are among the serious questions raised by the revealing articles in this thought-provoking and disturbing collection.
Campus, Inc. exposes this new form of corporate welfare through hard research. More importantly, it emphasizes the necessity of preserving the democratic character of the university with its independent inquiry, diversity of viewpoints, and disinterested expertise. The authors also provide real and replicable examples, from the front-line of the movement, of actions that have been taken against campus corporatization: Successful efforts to take universities off the corporate auction block are becoming more common. A new era of student activism has helped roll back the sale of sweatshop-produced items in campus stores; the re-emergence of unions has helped faculty organize to prevent "hostile takeovers" of our publicly funded institutions; and effective strategies to redemocratize the university are increasingly available.

This is a powerful account of the Fourth Crusade, which defined a pivotal time in the history of the world. A time when Christian soldiers - Crusaders - set forth from the comfort and safety of their homelands to defend the rights of Christian pilgrims and free the ancient Holy Lands from the tyranny of their muslim oppressors. This book is to be read as one would read a personal journal or diary, entry by entry. There are no chapters here, just a step by step trek to recapture hallowed ground. It is a powerful and captivating chronicle, written by Geoffry de Villehardouin (1160-1212 AD), an actual participant in the Fourth Crusade. Geoffry was a soldier, a Christian Knight, and one of the special envoys sent to facilitate transport of the expedition. This is his story of the Fourth Crusade, a story of Christendom at the end of the Dark Ages. A true classic of great historic significance, providing rare insight to the courage and faith of these mighty Christian knights. Many have debated the successes and failures of the Fourth Crusade, and the ramifications of the conquering of Constantinople in 1204, but none can deny the miraculous achievements of these Christian Knights. The First Crusade gave birth to a new morning in the Holy Land and the Kingdom of Jerusalem on July 15, 1099, when a victorious Christian army raised the Cross of Christ once again in the City of David. And the Crusades that followed served notice on tyrants everywhere that their campaigns of mayhem and oppression would not go unchallenged. These Crusades achieved that goal, and ushered in the end to the Dark Ages, and made possible the founding of a bright shining city on a hill. Judge Hal Moroz, from the Introduction

1908 -- INTRODUCTION -- Was never eye did see that face, Was never ear did hear that tongue, Was never mind did mind his grace, That ever thought the travail long But eyes and ears and every thought Were with his sweet perfections caught. From LOWELL ESSSAY. THIS preface and this book are not meant for the scholar who reads his Middle English with ease, nor again for the student who wishes to delve into the grammar and the syntax of fourteenth - century English. Rather are they meant for those many people who have not read, who say they cannot read, Chaucer. For, let writers deny it as they will, to the modern Englishman, and still more to the modern Englishwoman, Chaucer is a sealed book. A few lines here and there are clear enough-but then the reader is pulled up sharp and has to refer to notes and glossary and the man who sets out for enjoyment, will not for long turn aside to notes and glossary, however well they may be supplied. If it were not so, if this contention were not true, Professor Skeat would not have thought it necessary to publish a modern version of the beautiful Knightes Tale. The understanding of Chaucer and the love of him the two go together are not very old. Neither Addison nor Pope could appreciate him, and it is well known into what Dryden turned the tales. But attempts have been made to bring Chaucer nearer to the people. Charles Cowden Clarke purified him others modernised his spelling others again so altered him in modernising him that the poet was unrecognisable. Not one of these versions has succeeded. It is a bold thing to hope to prosper where so many have failed but the present editor is bound to explain-and to defend-his method. To begin with, certaintales, seven out of the twenty-four, have been left untouched. They are so broad, so plainspoken, that no amount of editing or alteration will make them suitable for the twentieth century. To these my preface makes no further reference. But in regard to the other seventeen, I may say that, first, the spelling has been slightly modernised, modernised just enough to leave its quaintness and take away some of its difficulty. To take a well-known passage and compare the ordinary version with the present version-Ther saugh I first the derke imagining Of felonye and a1 the compassyng The cruel ire reed as any glede The pykepurs and eek the pale drede The smyler with the knyf under the cloke The shepne brenning with the blake smoke The treson of the mordring in the bedde The open werre with woundes a1 bibledde Contek with blody knyf and sharp manace A1 ful of chirking was that sory place. Ther saw I first the dark irnaginyng Of felony, and a1 the wmpassyng The cruel wrath, as eny furnace red The pickepurs, and eke the pale Dread The smyler with the knyf under his cloke The stables burnyng with the blake smoke The treson of the murtheryng in the bed The open warres, with woundes a1 y-bled Conflict with bloody knyf, and sharp menace. A1 ful of shriekyng was that sory place. Again, difficulties of vocabulary have been treated in the same way. There is no pretence that this version is the Chaucer of the scholar, or the Chaucer of any recognised text and I give an instance as before, comparing the ordinary version with that printed in this volume-The sleere of him-self yet saugh I ther His herte-blood hath bathed a1 his heer The nay1 y-driven in the shode a-night The colde deeth with mouth gapingupright. Amiddes of the temple sat meschaunce With discomfort and sory contenaunce Yet saugh I woodnesse laughing in his rage Armed complaint, out-hees, and fiers outrage The careyne in the bush with throte y-come A thousand slayn and nat of qualm y-siorve The tiraunt with the prey by force y-raft The toune destroyed ther was nothing laft...

Since its enactment in 1935, Social Security has been amended hundreds of times. Consequently, this paper is not fully comprehensive. Instead, it briefly summarises discussions on individual major amendments. These summations do not capture the range of motivations behind Social Security votes; rather they record the arguments expressed at the time and, by so doing, attempt to give the reader the tone and context of the debate on major Social Security issues brought before the House and Senate chambers.

Published in two volumes for the Rolls Series between 1888 and 1889, this is the oldest surviving metrical chronicle in vernacular French. It was written by the Anglo-Norman poet and historian Geoffrei Gaimar (fl. 1136 7), who lived in England at a time when French was still used among the aristocracy. The text is largely based on the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle and also draws on various French, English and Latin sources. Gaimar's unique perspective breaks with the tradition of religious chronicles by offering the first secular account of the history of England. Edited by archivist and antiquary Sir Thomas Duffus Hardy (1804 78) and Charles Trice Martin (1842 1914), Volume 1 presents the original text. It covers the period from the arrival of Cerdic in 495 to the death of Henry I and includes the story of Havelok the Dane.
