Résumé
À la suite des travaux de Standing (2011), Clarke (2006) et d’autres, j’utilise la théorie du précariat pour définir l’existence de conditions de travail précaires dans l’industrie du minibus taxi. J’utilise la précarité pour décrire comment les pratiques d’emploi dans l’industrie, la législation du travail du ministère du Travail (DoL), les réglementations et les politiques de transport public du ministère des Transports (DoT) définissent la nature de l’industrie. Cet article se situe dans le contexte plus large de ma thèse de doctorat qui a examiné l’impact du programme de recapitalisation des taxis (TRP) sur les conditions de travail précaires dans l ’industrie du taxi minibus à Johannesburg. En utilisant des méthodes de recherche qualitative, j’ai mené un total de cinquante – huit entretiens pour ma thèse. Les résultats ont révélé l’existence de conditions de travail précaires dans l’industrie des minibus – taxis – dans les pays du Sud. L’article contribue à l’étude de la précarité dans le Sud global, à l’instar de Clarke (2006) qui a examiné le travail précaire en Afrique du Sud post – apartheid. Les conditions de travail de l’industrie des taxis minibus placent ses chauffeurs dans une position de précarité. Cela signifie que les chauffeurs de taxi sont quotidiennement exposés à de mauvaises conditions de travail qui ne sont pas conformes à la loi sur les conditions d’emploi de base (BCEA) ou à la détermination sectorielle (SD) sur les salaires.
