dc.description.abstract	The right to protest on political issues has always been a controversial labour law issue. The Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 does not explicitly permit or prohibit political protest action. However protest action to promote or defend the socio-economic interest of workers is legally protected under the Labour Relations Act. This article examines the meaning of the phrase “socio-economic interests of workers” as well as the distinction between protest action and strike action in order to determine whether political protest action is permitted by the Labour Relations Act.	en
