Industrial Change and Structural Efficiency—a Trade Union View

Pages 399-412 | Published online: 10 Apr 2013
 

Abstract

This paper is an overview of current developments in wage-fixation, the role of state intervention and union strategies. The paper reviews developments in wage-fixation culminating in the August 1989 National Wage Decision. The implications for union strategies are discussed with emphasis on changes in skill and control of work. It concludes by arguing that the Structural Efficiency process is part of a broader agenda which has profound implications for the development of the labour process in Australia.
