Description

A comprehensive review of the 26 trade unions in the National Health Service, this work is a contribution to the delivery of health care in a period of major transition and development in its history. The book examines the professional associations and trade unions involved in collective bargaining; their history, structure, organization and policies; pay and conditions of service and their determination; and the NHS reforms and their industrial relations consequences for staff, their organizations and their terms of employment. This work should be of use to managers, trade unionists and students of politics, economics and industrial relations.
