10cp Employment Relations
This
unit is concerned with the nature and significance of issues arising from
the relationship between employers, managers and employees. The central
purpose of the unit will be to make the student aware of problems which
can reduce organisational effectiveness and efficiency but which, if properly
handled, can enhance productivity and employer-employee satisfaction.
The unit will consider the Constitutional basis for industrial relations
legislation in Australia and its historical development, with a focus
on current legal and institutional structures. The unit will examine models
of employment relations; the implications of current practices of decentralised
wage and conditions fixation; the nature and structure of union and employer
organisations; and mechanisms designed to manage workplace conflict. |
