Labour law mediates the relationship between workers (employees), employers, trade unions and the government. Collective labour law relates to the tripartite relationship between employee, employer and union. Labour law (employment law) is a set of laws that deal with the rights of employees and the responsibilities of employers: Employment law covers a wide range of issues from pension plans and retirement, to occupational safety, to discrimination in the workplace.

As an employer and an employee you have certain rights and obligations to adhere to. Labour legislation (Labour Relations Act, Basic Conditions of Employment Act as well as the Employment Equity Act) may regulate the relationship between the employer and the employee., but you may still feel intimidated in a situation where an employer retrench or dismissed you and a CCMA referral may be equally alarming. Legal representation and advice may be advantageous for you as an employer or employee. 

Any successful business needs contended employees. Unhappiness can lead to problems such as labour unrest, a drop in productivity, and the like.
