Also known as the LWO Werkgewersorganisasie, the organisation is registered as an employers’ organisation with the Department of Labour – this means that we are authorised to represent our members in the CCMA, Bargaining Councils and Labour Court. The LWO is a non-profit members’ organisation, managed by a board (successful business owners and leading academics) consisting of members of the organisation. LWO was established in 1990 to provide employers in the broader South African business community with labour law services and other related services in the field of labour law.
