New laws — new managers?

Abstract

This series of case studies, drawn from a wide range of commerical and industrial activity, is intended to illustrate the impact of industrial relations legislation on a sample of British managers during the decade 1966/1976. The six statutes dealt with concern Redundancy Payments (1965 and 1969), Race Relations (1968 and 1976), Equal Pay (1970), Trade Union and Labour Relations (1974 and 1976), Employment Protection (1975) and Sex Discrimination (1975). When, as happens in certain cases, the same statute appears in more than one case study, quite different problems will be involved.
