Public Sector Industrial Relations in New Zealand

Abstract: Abstract During the last decade a highly centralized public sector employment and industrial relations system in New Zealand began to unravel. The unraveling process was an integral consequence of the radical program of state restructuring undertaken in New Zealand since 1984 (Scott et al., 1990; Boston et al., 1996; Schick, 1996). This restructuring program, arguably the most radical in the OECD, resulted in dramatic changes to the size and structure of the state, its role in the society and economy and the objectives of state activity.
