Analysing the employment impact of Sunday wage premiums reductions
This article tests the employment impact of recent reductions in Australian wage premiums, or penalty rates, using surveys of 1828 employees and 236 employers in Retail and Hospitality sectors. In applying wage premium reductions for Sunday work, the national regulator, the Fair Work Commission, anticipated improvements in trading hours, employment and hours worked as a consequence. However, the authors found no statistically significant evidence…

This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book focuses upon formal processes of employee involvement or participation. It examines the extent to which enterprises seek more cooperative and collaborative styles of management and explores initiatives for increased levels of productivity and effectiveness through employee satisfaction and commitment.

Return to work after workplace injury
Returning injured workers to work is a central object of contemporary workers’ compensation systems. Injured workers’ interactions with insurers and employers are critical to achievement of timely and sustainable return to work outcomes. This article explores the interactions of injured workers with insurers and employers through analysis of their perceptions and experiences. The focus is on experiences with the NSW Workers Compensation scheme si…
Employee Participation and Industrial Welfarism in Australia, 1890-1965
Non-union forms of representative employee participation have a long history in Australia, notwithstanding the privileging of trade union representation by the conciliation and arbitration system. One common form of representative employee participation occurred in the administration of industrial welfare schemes when they spread through large Australian organisations, particularly during and after World War II. However, the employee participatio…
Tragedy or farce? The repetition of Australian industrial relations history, 1929 and 2007
The national elections of 1929 and 2007 are the only two in Australian history where the government lost office and the prime ministers lost their seats. Both right-wing governments undertook radical industrial relations reform attacking standards of work and shifting the balance of power to employers. Both election campaigns were dominated by industrial relations, and unions' grassroots mobilisation was critical in defeating the governments. The…
Postscript
The authors of this thematic issue have substantially rescued the second Fisher-led Labor government of Australia from the relative neglect of labour historians, by acknowledging the significance and achievements of the first majority labour or social democratic national government in the world. The government’s significance was twofold: first, its election was based on the creation of a mass working class constituency; and second its busy legisl…
The Australian Place in Comparative Labour History
The conceptualisation of labour history has traditionally focused on national working classes and organised labour movements, although its Australian variants have always been implicitly informed by a comparative perspective based on notions of the 'Workingman's Paradise'. In the past three or more decades explicitly comparative labour history in Australia has undergone significant expansion, led by Labour History. Although there are numerous com…
Worker Directors and Worker Ownership/Cooperatives
Employee participation in organizational decision making at the strategic management level is manifested in two main ways: first, employee representatives sitting alongside shareholder representatives on the boards of public companies and state-owned enterprises; and second, producer cooperatives in which the workers own the organization. Producer cooperatives are also likely to have extensive employee representation on their boards. However, the…
Organisational Consolidation and Unionateness in the NSW Public Service Association, 1899-1939
The PSA is one of the oldest and most substantial examples of public sector and white-collar unionism, and its female activists played a leading role in the equal pay movement from 1914. Despite this, it has attracted little attention from historians. Sheldon's solitary article on the formation of the PSA characterises it as a 'middle-class' union, on the basis of public servants' social position, industrial conservatism, limited links with the l…

Class and Labour
The class nature and political trajectory of the British Labour Party (BLP) and the Australian Labour Party (ALP) have been remarkably similar. The greatest manifestations of this similarity have been in terms of each party being the main representative working class political party; the structural significance of trade unions within both parties; and each party being characterised by a dominant ideology of 'labourism'. However, there have also b…
