Description and Table of Contents

Description

State compulsory arbitration of industrial disputes is a major aspect of the Australian political economy. Conceived at a time of social and economic disruption, compulsory arbitration has remained a source of controversy and debate. This book re-opens the debate on the introduction of arbitration but seeks to give rise to different questions.
