In an era of rapid technological, economic and political change, there is a growing awareness of the challenges of income inequality, employment insecurity and workplace conflict. In this context, positive relationships between management and trade unions offer an opportunity to negotiate change and create fairer and more productive workplaces. Part of the Palgrave Executive Essentials series, this engaging text is the only dedicated resource for executive learners, professionals and students of human resources and labour relations, providing a strategic management guide to employee relations in the unionised workplace. Combining theory with practical examples and tools relating to negotiations with unions and management of a unionised workforce, this book is a one-stop-shop for students, instructors and practitioners looking to supplement their understanding of employment relations with hands-on knowledge of this vitally important context. It includes case studies, reflective questions, suggested resources and further reading for additional learning. It will be a vital resource for executive education courses on employment relations and managing a unionised workforce, as well as MBA students and exec-MA students, as well as the wider practitioner community.
