The New Industrial Relations

The 'new industrial relations' seeks a more decentralised approach which emphasises the importance of enterprise-level agreements between management and the workforce. While some of the more radical proponents seek to weaken the power of trade unions and the arbitration tribunals, others are concerned to achieve greater flexibility within the current centralised system.

Yet many managers remain ill-prepared for changes which involve more direct consultation and negotiation with the workforce.
