National Employment Council for the Transport Operating Industry (NECTOI), which was formed in 1985, is one of the industrial councils established in terms of the Labour Act. The council has equal representation from employers and employees within the transport industry and it consists of three organisations namely; Transport Operators Association (TOA), Transport and General Workers’ Union (T& GWU), and Passenger Transport Organisation (PTO).
NECTOI’s mandate is to create an enabling platform to the transport operating industry stakeholders in order to facilitate implementation of the provisions of the Labour Act within the transport industry. The transport industry consists of three subsectors; passenger-carrying subsector (referred to as Part 1), metered taxi and car hire (Part 2) and freight/haulage (Part 3).
