One of the major intentions of the Conservative governments of the
1980s was to redraw the landscape and map of industrial relations.
They aimed to achieve this by means of a combination of measures:
political initiatives and campaigning; a changed economic and
social environment; and most directly a programme of industrial
relations legislation that increasingly curtailed the role and
influence of trade unions. This book examines the policies and
associated legislation directly intended to change union behaviour.
It considers origins, purpose, and impact on union behaviour and
structures, focusing in particular on the role of ballots as the
central mechanism chosen for changing union decision-making. The
changes that occurred as a consequence of this legislation are
placed in the wider union context and the relative influence of the
balloting legislation is assessed against other developments
affecting union behaviour, including the strategies adopted by the
unions' leaders. It finds the results were not always as intended
by the Conservative governments. In a concluding chapter the
authors ask whether the framework created in the UK will be an
exemplar or exceptional case when compared with developments in
other European countries. The book is the result of research
carried out over almost a decade by a highly experienced and
respected team who base their analysis on interviews, detailed
analysis of legislation and union rule books, and a series of
indepth case studies. This richly detailed and authoritative book
will be essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand how
the changing framework of labour relations affected changes in
union behaviour. The book will thus appeal tostudents and academics
working in industrial relations, human resource management, labour
law, labour economics, and politics. Employee relations
practitioners and policy makers - managers and trade unionists -
will also find it useful for increasing their understanding of the
purpose and effect of the legislation.
