The Yellow-Dog Contract and its Implications on Workers Participation in Labour-Management Relations in Nigeria
0₦2,500.00Professor Adeniyi Olatunbosun, Dean, Faculty of Law, University of Ibadan in “The Yellow-Dog Contract and Its Implications on Workers Participation in Labour-Management Relations in Nigeria” discusses the legal status of the yellow-dog contract as an employment agreement whereby a worker promises not to join a trade union or promises to resign from a union. He examines statutory provisions prohibiting workers from joining a trade union and those forbidding the yellow-dog contract. He explores two competing views, one which adheres to the common law in insisting upon absolute freedom of contract for employers and the other which limits the right of freedom of contract wherever it seems to encroach upon other basic human rights. He concludes that the yellow-dog contract enjoys a wide use in most industries, where they are used in nearly all the non-union fields.

She posits that modern corporate governance has seen greater cooperation and symbiosis between labour and capital which has accommodated the realities of employees’ financial and non-financial interest of co-ownership, co-determination, and co-influence. She explores the different areas of employees’ involvement in corporate governance and concludes that the pivotal role of labour in the wealth of corporations requires that the corporate success must trickle down for sustainable development of corporations and local communities.
