| Abstract: | South Africa had, until 1979, a dualistic structure of industrial relations: a legalistic formal guarantee of certain industrial rights to white, 'coloured' and Indian workers, and a repressive labour regime for African workers. Africans were denied participation in recognized trade unions. In the early 1970s African workers began to organize into trade unions, challenging the dualistic structure of industrial relations. This article is concerned with management's resistance to these early attempts to organize and with how management and the state were eventually forced to recognize and negotiate with them.
