Description
The book is lively and engaging in style, and critical in approach. The core themes are introduced by case studies which illustrate the realities of employee relations. Drawn from the public and private sectors, from manufacturing and service activities, and from unionised and non-unionised companies, these cases reflect the diversity of settings in which contemporary employee relations take place. These cases and the accompanying further reading also make the book a useful source for seminar discussion and project work.The authors demonstrate the critical importance of employee relations in contemporary work organisations, and argue that to understand these relations it is necessary to recognise the tensions inherent in the employment relationship. In doing so, they provide a highly readable and thought-provoking analysis.
This new edition contains much revised and updated material, together with a new case study to reflect recent changes in employee relations.
