Labour Relations

Labour Relations is intended to provide a practical text for labour relations, industrial relations, and collective bargaining courses.  The book is based on the premise that employers, unions, and governments are key players in labour relations, who are affected by a challenging environment.  Globalization, technological innovation, and other environmental factors pose threats and opportunities for employers, unions, and government. To deal with this challenging environment, the authors have written a book on labour relations that is practical and applied, and does not lose sight of the context.

From the smallest contract conflict to the immense impact of globalization and technological innovation, the world of labour relations is always changing. Labour Relations, Second Edition, provides you with the practical strategies, real-world examples, and comprehensive analysis necessary to make sense of labour relations today.

 

A strong working relationship between unions and employers is crucial to the success and productivity of many companies. Maintaining this relationship requires excellent communication, detailed documentation, and a sensible understanding of how labour relations work. Labour Relations, Second Edition, explores the complex world of labour contracts and negotiations while balancing practical techniques with contemporary analysis of the newest changes in the field.
