Abstract: Abstract Two related developments have had a most profound effect on labour and labour-management relations in the past thirty years: one is the very significant decrease in the proportion of the labour force that is engaged in the production of goods and the provisions of traditional services, such as transportation; and the other is the rapid increase of employment in the public service and enterprises funded largely by the public treasuries. The first is manifested in increasing proportions of the labour force entering into employments that have been difficult to organise, such as professional and technical, clerical, consultative, and general services. The second is manifested in the organisation of public service employees, and employees of enterprises and agencies funded by public monies, such as teachers and hospital employees.
