Industrial Relations: Contemporary Problems and Perspectives

Industrial Relations: Contemporary Problems and Perspectives

The System of Industrial Relations in Britain served us well in first half of the twenty centuries, but it is becoming increasingly clear that the ideas, institutions, and established code of conducts that determine the behavior of management and employees are no longer adequate to meet the problems of today and the future. New Developments in the field of technology, the increasing interdependence of the major units of production, transportation and services, the changing characters of the labour force and the emergence of new economic and social problems have changed and will change further the environment in which industrial relations are shaped.

The authors, all of whom are highly qualified by research and industrial experience, discuss the impact of changing environment on the supply of labour, trade unions, management, collective bargaining, wage policy, factory level relationships, industrial social policy, the law, politics and public policy and its administration in the labour field.
