Industrial Relations and Health Services
Industrial Relations and Health Services (1982) provides a comparative treatment of labour and industrial relations in health services in Canada, Britain and the USA. While there are differences between the systems in these three countries, such differences illuminate the particular responses and policies that need to be made in varying circumstances. It is written by practitioners as well as academics, so that it will provide practical insights into bargaining strategies, labour relations issues and conflict resolution techniques.
