Synopsis

This work demonstrates the changing nature of industrial relations between unions and management today, changes that are necessary if the challenges of business in the 21st century are to be met. From a brief history of labour negotiation in the UK, the project traces the development of conflict bargaining, the changing nature of the trade union role, the inspiration behind the partnership approach and the demands and opportunities that this approach can create. The book highlights practical ways of moving toward partnership: accepting that the move is not an easy one for either party. In this context the author shows how intentions to create partnerships of this nature need to recognize the influence of others in the organization and in the union, on the developing partnership. Offering key personal experiences to illustrate labour relations scenarios and practical advice this text should be useful for managers in a changing business environment.
