Description

Introduction Over the past twenty years, there has been a shift in many industrialised economies away from the industrial relations compromises that marked the post-World War II period, in particular the recognition of trade unions as social partners in 'economic and social processes through various tripartite arrangements and schemes facilitating collective bargaining' (Sharard 1996: 1). This was noted by the Committee on the Application of Conventions and Recommendations (CEACR) of the International Labour Organization (ILO) in 1994 when it expressed concern at legislative trends giving precedence to individual rights over collective rights, and at structural changes used to undermine trade unions and fragment collective bargaining (ILO 1994: [236]). These changes occurred in Australia both during the later years of the Hawke-Keating Australian Labor Party (ALP) Governments and during the following eleven-years under the Howard Liberal Party-National Party Coalition Governments from 1996-2007. This shift towards individualism and the fragmentation of bargaining occurred in Australia during the transition from centralised fixation of employment conditions, through conciliation and arbitration processes, to the negotiation of wages and conditions through voluntary collective bargaining (see Cooper and Ellem 2008).
