| Synopsis: |
This book comprises an examination of all the legal aspects of industrial relations in Britain today. The past two decades have seen a vast increase in legislation covering such issues as union organization, picketing, equal pay, pensions, dismissals, redundancies and working conditions. This degree of legal regulation has added a new dimension to personnel management, collective bargaining and the conduct of industrial disputes. The industrial tribunals and the courts now exert a profound influence on Britain's voluntary system of industrial relations. The book is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students, and for those working in personnel management and labour law. There is sufficient legal analysis to satisfy law students and yet the text is clear and broad enough for the non-legal reader. The expert contributors provide a thorough treatment of the law and its implications, including the socio-economic and comparative aspects of the subject. Contributors: Steven Anderman, George Bain, B.Becusson, David Cockburn, Linda Dickens, Brian Doyle, Keith Ewing, Philip James, Patricia Leighton, David Lewis, Roy Lewis, John Mesher, Kenneth Miller, Gillian Morris, Graham Moffat, Brian Napier, Paul O'Higgins, Mary Redmond, Bob Simpson, Frank Sutcliffe, Erika Szyszczak and Sue Ward. |
