'Not for profit' enterprises provide services enjoyed or depended
upon by many Australians. But the charities, sports clubs,
churches, community organisations, welfare groups, associations,
unions, and foundations that draw on our support - and comprise the
third sector - also make a significant contribution to our society.
They promote social change and defend traditional values; they
express our capacity to work together without being ordered by
government or lured by profit. Third Sector provides the first
overview of Australia's non-profit enterprises. It describes how
this vital part of our economy developed and how it operates today,
including interaction with the government and business sectors. As
well as documenting the third sector's contributions, it warns of
the threats it faces from massive economic, technological and
demographic changes. Third sector organisations must now adapt to
new circumstances, and prove worthy of continuing support. For
community leaders, this book is essential reading. For politicians,
public servants and anyone else who interacts with the third
sector, it will be an invaluable resource. As the most
comprehensive reference available, Third Sector will be useful to
students and teachers of politics, public policy, and welfare
studies.
An account of the assault on the Union at Grangemouth in 2013, when
workers were forced to accept cuts in their pay andconditions by
the owner's threat of closure. Written by the Grangemouth convenor,
The Battle of Grangemouth is a vital storyin trying times, and
demonstrates why, now more than ever, being organised is vital for
the defense of basic right at work. Published in association with
Unite the Union.This book tells the story of the industrial dispute
at Grangemouth in 2013, when the owner threatened to close a large
part of the complex unless the workforce accepted severe cuts to
their wages and conditions. The events at Grangemouth represented,
in very acute form, the disaster of contemporary approaches to
running the economy. What was once a publicly owned and well-run
national asset has been allowed to fall into the hands of a company
controlled by one man - Jim Ratcliffe - who thus has been able to
exert immense power over the future of a vital national
resource.Ratcliffe conducted a relentless campaign against the
union at the site, with the intention of removing its main
organisers, partly through exploiting the row in Falkirk Labour
Party over candidate selection. Through these endeavours he
succeeded in inflicting considerable hardship on a large number of
people, but he did not destroy the strong union organisation at
Grangemouth, which remains committed to defending the workforce and
local community from his depredations.
Go-Ahead began life as the Gateshead-based Go-Ahead Northern bus
company after the privatisation of the National Bus Company in
1987. Early expansion saw the acquisition of a number of smaller
bus operators in the North East. During the 1990s, it entered
London, where it rapidly became the largest provider of bus
services in the UK capital. It has subsequently acquired operations
across England. Rail privatisation has presented another
opportunity for the group and it currently operates Govia
Thameslink Railway, comprising Thameslink, Southern and Great
Northern as well as South Eastern. More recently, it has
established an overseas presence and runs buses in Singapore and
Dublin along with rail services in Germany and Norway. All of these
are franchised operations. The Group continues to believe that
public transport is best managed locally and its operating
companies all retain local management and identities. Illustrated
with over 150 colour illustrations, this book looks at its first 25
years in detail with a brief update of developments since then.
