Industrial relations reform in Australia: implications for the agricultural and mining sectors

Anne Hawke and Mark Wooden

Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics, 1998, vol. 42, issue 3, 17

Abstract: A major transformation in the processes that underpin industrial relations arrangements in Australia appears to have occurred during the last decade. The tribunal‐based systems of conciliation and arbitration that have shaped labour‐management relationships now play a far less pivotal role, and the system of awards is far less central to the determination of wages and conditions. Greater scope now exists for employees and employers to tailor their industrial relationship to the needs of the enterprise. This article provides an overview of the development of both collective and non‐collective bargaining within the formal framework, and the likely impacts of such developments.
