Authored by John D. Hill, William A. Howard, and Russell D. Lansbury — three scholars of considerable standing in the field — the text maps the terrain of employer-employee relations within the distinctly Australian institutional framework, chronicling the evolution of trade unions, arbitration systems, wage-fixing tribunals, and collective bargaining with clarity and authority. The book instructs students and practitioners alike in the foundational theories and practical realities of industrial conflict and resolution, situating Australia's unique conciliation and arbitration model within its broader historical and economic context.\n\nWritten with academic precision yet a refreshingly approachable tone, this volume argues that understanding industrial relations is not merely a matter of legal or economic literacy, but a prerequisite for informed participation in Australian working life. The authors illustrate how legislation, labour market structures, and social attitudes intersect to produce outcomes that affect every level of the workforce. Published as part of the Australian Management Studies series, it remains a vital reference for anyone seeking to understand the forces that have shaped — and continue to reshape — the Australian industrial landscape. One is left wondering: how much has truly changed?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50948305977563,"sku":"2026100012521-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/acb0c4d5-f700-4991-9543-9716654e31a6.png?v=1793104293","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100012521-secondhand-industrial-relations-an-australian-introduction","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
