DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Carin Runciman (University of Johannesburg)\nThe ris
 e of new forms of ‘precarious’ work in South Africa over the last few 
 decades has necessitated a return to the study of the capitalist labour pr
 ocess. Labour broking\, outsourcing\, contract work and casual work are of
 ten described as ‘atypical’ forms of work but\, as we will demonstrate
 \, they have fast become the norm. In this paper we will detail how workpl
 ace restructuring has gone hand-in-hand with processes of labour casualiat
 ion and the implications for the decent work agenda. We demonstrate how tr
 ade unions have largely failed to keep pace with these developments and ha
 ve neglected to organise precarious workers. Furthermore\, we argue that\,
  despite some recent positive reforms in the rights for precarious workers
 \, the institutional framework that is intended to safeguard worker rights
  is in many cases denying workers their rights. Taken together this sugges
 ts the need for a radical rethink for the role of the state in promoting a
 nd safeguarding decent work for all.\n\nhttps://events.saip.org.za/event/1
