This volume is a collection of contributions in tribute to Manfred Weiss by colleagues and friends who have known and worked with him. Apart from acknowledging his extensive high-quality scholarship in international and regional labour law, it celebrates his outstanding influence as a remarkable mentor, teacher and scholar who has inspired over a generation of students and scholars in South African and other SADC countries. The contributions by scholars, judges and legal practitioners are diverse and broad-ranging. They reflect on different aspects of labour law, employment relations and broader social protection themes, discourses, developments, challenges and opportunities. 

Manfred Weiss has contributed enormously to the development of young scholars and labour law reform in Southern Africa. It is therefore fitting that some of his colleagues and friends should in this way celebrate part of his lifelong work. Readers will find in this book an enriching source of relevant and up-to-date treatment of some critical issues in labour and broader social law.
