Senior lektrise, Departement Handelsreg, Regs- fakulteit, Universiteit van Suid-Afrika. ' Hierdie bydrae is grootliks gebaseer op Annali Christelle Basson Die Onwikkeling van Ekonomiese Regte met 'n Arbeidsregtelike Perspektief (ongepubliseerde LLD-proefskrif, Univer- siteit van Suid-Afrika 1990) (hierna 'Basson Proefskrif). 2 Die aangeleentheid rakende menseregte (en dan veral ten opsigte van ekonomiese regte) word volledig bespreek in Basson Proefskrif op cit noot 1 op 4-165. 3 In hierdie verband word soos volg verklaar in die International Labour Office se International Labour Standards: A Workers' Education Manual 2 uitg (1982) 73: 'Freedom of association has a unique place among the basic human rights and freedoms of concern to the ILO. It is an essential prerequisite for progress towards social justice; it enables the workers to give expression to their aspirations; it strengthens their position in collective bargaining, by re-establishing a balance in the strength of the parties; it constitutes a healthy counterweight to the power of the State, by enabling labour to participate in the framing and carrying out of economic and social policies, and last but not least, it is essential for the proper functioning of an organisation like the ILO based on tripartism, that is to say co-operation on an equal footing between workers, employers, and governments' (my beklemtoning). Op soortgelyke trant verklaar R Blanpain (red) International Encyclopaedia for Labour Law and Industrial Relations Volume I (losblad) 79 soos volg: 'The standards on freedom of assosiation for trade union purposes have a special place in international labour law, as it is an essential means for workers to defend their interests and a particular aspect of the right of association in general, and is therefore considered among the fundamental human rights' (my beklemtoning). Kyk ook in hierdie verband Die Volledige Wiehahn-verslag Dele 1-6 en die Witskrif op Elke Deel met Aantekeninge deur Prof NE Wiehahn (1982) (hierna 'die Wiehahn-verslag') 445 wat daarop wys dat die vryheid om te assosieer in die aard van 'n mensereg 16.
