Fair Work: the new workplace laws and the Work Choices legacy

Abstract

"The authors, leading scholars and practitioners, examine both the nature and legacy of the controversial Work Choices reforms and how workplace relations are set to change under the new Fair Work legislation. Besides an overview of these developments, there are separate chapters on: the shifting boundaries between federal and state regulation, the ’safety net’ enforcement processes, agreement-making, the regulation of bargaining, industrial actions, trade union rights, dispute resolution and unfair dismissal." -- Publisher description.
