The Effect of Different Levels of Legislative Support on the Pattern and Structure of Unionism in Australia and Britain

Abstract

The closely comparable workplace industrial relations surveys of 1990 allow a unique opportunity to analyse the effect of two very different systems of legislative support on the nature of unionism in two countries which are otherwise extremely similar. Australian industrial relations law provides unions with considerably more support provision through recognition procedures and rights to organise than is the case in Britain.
