This carefully curated collection of scholarly readings presents the foundational structures, legal frameworks, and socio-economic forces that have shaped the Australian labour movement, drawing together authoritative voices to illuminate the mechanisms of wages arbitration, trade unionism, collective bargaining, and employer-employee conflict resolution.\n\nEdited by two of Australia's foremost industrial relations scholars, J E Isaac and G W Ford, this second edition reflects the evolving nature of the field, incorporating updated readings that respond to shifts in Australian industrial policy and labour law. The anthology argues persuasively that Australian labour relations cannot be understood in isolation from the broader historical, political, and economic contexts in which they operate — a thesis that remains as urgent today as when it was first advanced. Essential for students, practitioners, and policymakers alike, this volume leaves its reader with a profound appreciation for the enduring tensions between capital and labour that continue to define the Australian working landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50948305125595,"sku":"2026100012518-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/14693294-4fd0-4439-91b4-b4d193a41f71.png?v=1793104255","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100012518-secondhand-australian-labour-relations-readings","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
