Labour
Labour is one of the main ingredients in the economic formula for trade:
            Labour + material + process = Saleable product / service.
   SA has fallen into the trap of thinking it must be like many of the other overseas economies in allowing and supporting trade union abuse of the strike right, etc. This must be better regulated. You cannot rely on trade unions to be responsible when it comes to mass action; their behaviour has irreversible repercussions on the economy and in many instances leads directly or indirectly to job losses.
   UIF and the Basic Conditions of Employment ("BCE") are indirectly responsible for holding more people out of jobs than for supporting those who have lost a job or providing jobs in the first place. (See "Economic Policy".) Many small businesspersons rather carry on running their concerns understaffed than get involved in the unrealistic demands of BCE and UIF.
   BCE must be reworked and the conditions tiered, so that small business do not have the same heavy admin demands as big business for hiring and firing. This will lead to more jobs being created, as it will be more attractive to small business to use more workers.
   CCMA must be audited and rehashed in line with the new BCE. The abuses taking place in the CCMA must be eliminated (see "Economic Policy").
   SDL should be abolished for all levels of business. A nation-wide skills development strategy will be introduced, funded from the labour budget.
