The BCFMI/KZN has been in existence for more than 50 years. The Council originated under the Industrial Conciliation Act of 1937 and was registered as an Industrial Council on 3 July 1954.
The Labour Relations Act of 1995 (the Act) created a new legislative framework whereby “Industrial Councils” became “Bargaining Councils.”
The new dispensation moved away from the criminal punitive measures to a more flexible conciliatory approach, giving impetus to the thrust, purpose and objectives of the new Statute.
The Council is a Statutory body and has been registered in terms of Section 29(15)(a) of the Act, as a bargaining council (Department of Labour reference LR 2/6/6/33).
The primary function of the Council is to promote and facilitate collective bargaining at sectoral level; and to give effect to Section 23 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa as contained in Chapter 2 of the Bill of Rights.
The Areas covered by the Collective Agreement is as it appears within the preamble of the various Collective Agreements under Administration.
