Workplace effects of equal employment opportunity legislation: The Australian experience
Establishing whether legislation promotes better equity outcomes than non-mandated, voluntaristic instruments such as self-regulation or peer regulation has been difficult. Findings of an Australian survey comparing equity policies and outcomes in those workplaces that are regulated by employment equity legislation with those that are not subject to legislative provisions are presented. Research findings showed equity indicators were strongest in…
A Failure of Voluntarism: Shop Assistants and the Struggle to Restrict Trading Hours in the Colony of Victoria, 1850-85
The struggle over shop trading hours is a significant but neglected component of the nineteenth century working-hours debate. This struggle involved a wide array of workers and their organisations, including journeymen bakers and butchers as well as shop assistants (such as drapers' assistants and grocers' assistants). For these workers, hours of labour were dictated by the trading hours of establishments they worked in, alternate sources of supp…
Reconsidering the Collective Impulse: Formal Organization and Informal Associations among Workers in the Australian Colonies, 1795-1850
This paper presents a reinterpretation of the causes for the US Patriot movement of 1837-38, which rose up in support of the Canadian rebellion in Upper Canada (UC) initiated by William Lyon Mackenzie (the companion rebellion in Lower Canada is not considered in this paper since its causation was arguably considerably different). Most traditional treatments of this event, by US historians in particular, are stuck in narrative mode and lack convin…

While there has been historiographical debate about labour history in Australia, this has not grappled substantially with the \nquestion of method. Rather there has been agreement that 'narrow' institutional history was not illuminating the heterogeneity of our labour experience. In this project we are constructing over a long period and a large terrain what might be described as an institutional history of Australian trade unionism. To do so, ho…
