Industrial Action Patterns of Labour Conflict
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.
