Download or read book New Employment Actors written by Grant Michelson and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume contains a selection of papers which go back to a conference on new employment actors, held at the University of Sydney in November 2006. The book contends that employment relations must be broadened to examine the new actors and processes and the role these play in the regulation and experience of work. It demonstrates this in the context of recent developments in Australia. In addition, the contributions evaluate the extent to which new employment actors either reinforce or replace the activities of the more established trade union, management, and state-based actors. It is argued that an inclusion of these new actors and processes is a more comprehensive way of understanding and explaining industrial society in the 21st century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kenneth Walker's 1956 publication, Industrial Relations in Australia, was acclaimed as the first full-scale analysis of the factors shaping Australian industrial relations. Significant developments during the ensuing years, however, necessitated a thorough reevaluation of the field. In his revised book Walker examines these extensive developments, reorganizes his approach, incorporates much additional material, and, in general, provides a more comprehensive view of Australian industrial relations.

Dunlop's concept of the industrial relations system, which the author applies to the Australian situation, distinguishing among national, state, industry, and plant systems.

Download or read book The Australian Charter of Employment Rights written by Mordy Bromberg and published by Hardie Grant Publishing. This book was released on 2007-09-01 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt:

The Australian Charter of Employment Rights is a blueprint for the future of industrial relations in Australia.

The Charter is a back-to-basics attempt to define the rights of workers and employers. It is a simply expressed contemporary document that draws upon international as well as uniquely Australian rights and values to create a set of rights and obligations which all workplaces are encouraged to adopt and observe. The Charter enables a critique of current labour laws and any proposals for change.

The Australian Charter of Employment Rights is the collaborative effort of seventeen of Australia’s leading IR practitioners, lawyers and economists, edited by Mordy Bromberg and Mark Irving. It is the initiative of the Australian Institute of Employment Rights, an independent tripartite body representing workers, employers and the public interest.

“The Charter of Australian Employment Rights leads the way for industrial relations in Australia – a way towards greater harmony and greater prosperity. It is a worthy objective, which can be achieved by employers and workers adopting a template for workplace fairness.”

Bob Hawke

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Employment Relations is the market-leading text for the most up-to-date coverage and analysis of legislation, theory, and contemporary issues related to the Australian system. In this extensively updated third edition a brand new chapter recognises the peculiarities of Australia's modern employment relations laws, it analyses the traditional concept of collective bargaining in the broader context of collective agreement making.

This third edition is more accessible than ever with enhanced navigation, clearer language, and new marginal definitions for technical terms. Students are encouraged to relate theory to real life and apply theory for deeper understanding and critical thinking with a range of new and updated features including Problem-Based Learning Cases, Work Stories, and ER News.

Download or read book The Struggle for Australian Industrial Relations written by Braham Dabscheck and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes and analyzes what occurred in Australian industrial relations in the late 1980s and early 1990s. During this period Australia moved away from a centralized to an increasingly decentralized system of industrial relations regulation. Three major isues have been associated with this transformation: a diminution in the prominent role played by the Australian Industrial Relations Commission, the development and adoption of different models of enterprise bargaining, and a massive campaign of amalgamations which has rationalized the structure of Australian unions.
