Status and Reward chronicles the long and complex struggle of professional engineers in Australia to secure fair industrial representation and workplace recognition. Dr Brian E Lloyd and Helen Vines present a meticulously researched account of how Australia's engineering profession organised, lobbied, and negotiated its way toward professional legitimacy across the twentieth century, weaving together institutional history with the personal stories of those who shaped the movement. The work stands as a significant contribution to Australian labour and professional history, illuminating the intersection of industrial relations, professional identity, and economic policy. Lloyd and Vines write with scholarly authority yet maintain an accessible narrative voice, drawing on contributions from Laurie McCalman, Jack Michael, Bruce Nadenbouch, Ron Stapleton, and John Vines to produce a rich, multi-perspectival account. For anyone with an interest in how professional bodies are forged in the crucible of industrial politics, this volume raises questions that remain urgently relevant today.
