Engaging with management

Abstract: This article examines Bill McCarthy's engagement with management, distinguishing between supply and demand side forms of involvement. Arguing that McCarthy placed considerable weight on management as the main driver of industrial relations reform, the article highlights the prescriptive advice and support Bill supplied on such reform. Noting that McCarthy was regularly in demand to teach managers and conduct major inquiries on key industrial relations issues and problems, the article suggests that Bill was clearly trusted and held in high esteem by management despite his strong and explicit commitment to the labour movement.
