Abstract:

The thesis examines the role of regional labour councils in local employment generation. It specifically analyses the case of an Australian regional labour council, the South Coast Labour Council (SCLC), between 1981 and 1996. The Illawarra region was the centre of SCLC activity. It was an industrialised region that experienced high levels of unemployment in the period. These were greater than the State and national averages, which reflected a geographical concentration of unemployment in certain regions in Australia.

Abstract:

What role the law should play in encouraging the growth of trade unions is a matter of considerable controversy in Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Limits to growth in other sectors of the economy coupled with heightened employer hostility to unionism have made the extension of collective bargaining to the tertiary sector the most pressing task for unions in the 1980s. In a limited way, the Canadian procedure for certifying and recognizing unions is being considered as a model for labour law reform. And there is much to recommend the Canadian system. It is far more efficient

Abstract:

This thesis examines the theoretical and empirical relationship between trade unions and productivity in the Korean auto and cement manufacturing industries, during the 1980s. It challenges the tenets of the existing debate by stressing the contingent nature of this relationship. In particular this thesis pinpoints inadequacies of econometric analysis as the only method of judging this association between union presence and productivity, because this ignores national and historical industrial relations contexts. Moreover, the polarity between positive and negative views of trade union influenc

Regional integration has contributed to shaping the current geopolitical landscape profoundly across the globe. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, a number of regional integration projects came to life in the post soviet space, with varying degrees of success. Many of these projects took an economic direction, but it was not until 2015 that the Eurasian Economic Union was officially created. The Union was built upon the pre-existing Customs Union and maintained its objective of a free market. With freedom of the market also came freedom of movement of labor. Before that, the movement o

This research aims to examine worker and union outcomes of labourmanagement partnership and, to assess whether partnership provides a viable option for union revival.

Worker and union outcomes of formal partnership arrangements were measured at the organizational level and those of informal partnership arrangements were measured at the workplace and employee levels (Oxenbridge 2002, 2004).

Abstract:

This thesis focuses on trade union responses to casualisation of labour in the Eastern Cape. In the context of increased globalization, some employers have attempted to achieve high production outputs while saving on operational costs. The ‘flexible firm’ model is used as but one theory to explain increased flexibility in the workplace. In an effort to achieve increasingly flexible firms that may swiftly respond to subsequent challenges such as increased international competition, employers have been seen incorporating more non-standard workers in the form of casual, temporary, part-time, and

Historically trade unions have reflected the contours of capitalist work organisations and the social relations within them. The review of British trade unionism in the 1980's therefore considers the impact of institutional factors together with broader social processes upon unions and the "models" of union behaviour which have emerged.
