Industrial Action: Patterns of Labour Conflict (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781032848594)

Industrial Action (1980) examines in a comparative analysis the principal elements involved in industrial action - strikes, work-to-rule, go-slows etc - in four key industries in Australia - construction, shipbuilding, the waterfront and telecommunications. The individual case studies are placed within a theoretical and an international perspective, and conclusions are drawn which point up many common threads running through industrial relations in widely differing industries.
