Synopsis

The new industrial relations thesis maintains that fundamental change has occurred in British industrial relations, sufficient to warrant a re-evaluation of the workplace relationship. In this book, leading figures in the field review the assumptions of this argument and the evidence. Topics include the development of HRM policies, employment legislation, changes in union membership, structures and activity, the impact of Japanese industrial practices, and changes in the public sector.
