The Management of Labour: A History of Australian Employers (Australian Studies in Labour Relations)

The Management of Labour analyzes the policies and practices of Australian employers throughout the twentieth century, emphasizing the links between enterprise-level initiatives and the broader environment of product and labour markets, government, arbitration tribunals, trade unions and employer groups. Particular emphasis is placed on developments in employer practice during the last twenty years and the extent to which contemporary changes have followed earlier patterns of labour management.
