The book provides a collection of cutting-edge, multi-disciplinary
research-based chapters on work, workers and the regulation and
management of workplace health and safety. Featuring research from
Australia, Europe and North America, the chapters traverse
important historical examples and place important, emerging
contemporary trends, like work in the gig economy, into wider
international and historical perspectives. The authors are leading
authorities in their fields. The book contributes to advancing our
knowledge - empirical and theoretical - of the ways in which labour
market dynamics, management strategies, state regulation and public
policy, and union organisation affect outcomes for workers. It
features in-depth exploration of, and reflection on, some of the
major labour market challenges facing workers, and analysis of
strengths and weaknesses of responses to those challenges, whether
via management, state regulation or collective employee voice. The
chapters highlight shifts in in/equality of outcomes; access to
security and flexibility at work; genuine access to workplace voice
and decision-making; and the implications of different avenues and
mechanisms for regulating work and employment. The text is aimed at
researchers, undergraduate and postgraduate students in work and
organisational studies, industrial/employment relations and human
resource management, workplace (or occupational) health and safety,
employment law, and labour history. It will also be of particular
interest to policy makers and practitioners working in the field of
workplace health and safety.

Labour History: a Journal of Labour and Social History is published
on behalf of the Australian Society for the Study of Labour
History. The journal, which has been appearing twice yearly since
1962, is the premier outlet for refereed, scholarly articles in the
fields of social and labour history in Australasia, examining
issues such as labour politics, trade unions, management labour
practices, co-operatives, gender and ethnicity. The
interdisciplinary nature of labour history, and its acceptance of
less traditional sources, including folklore and oral testimony,
make it a fascinating field, alive to past and present social
justice issues. As well as scholarly articles, Labour History also
publishes essays, reviews, and memoirs that reflect the involvement
of labour historians in the making of history. A special issue
about occupational health and safety (OHS), the publication of
Labour History 119 coincides with the 50th anniversary of a
disaster on the site of the construction of Melbourne’s West Gate
Bridge. Labour History is indexed in Cabell's Whitelist and Social
Sciences Citation Index (SSCI).
