Riassunto

The book represents a detailed analysis of the South African legislative protection afforded to HIV positive employees, against discrimination and unfair dismissal. It places various legislative provisions under scrutiny starting with International Conventions, the South African Constitution and other key protective labour legislation such as the Labour Relations Act (LRA), Act 66 of 1995 and the Employment Equity Act (EEA), Act 55 of 1998. The study appraises HIV discrimination and dismissal case law and finds contentment with the decisions. It concludes that HIV positive employees are adequately protected but suggest that more needs to be done in the workplace, to eradicate prevailing stigmatization and discrimination against these employees.
