The state and industrial relations: background to the adoption of compulsory arbitration law in Australia and Nigeria

Article Abstract:

There are important parallels between Australia and Nigeria in the history of their industrial relations, partly explaining why the two countries have adopted similar compulsory arbitration legislation. The introduction of a compulsory arbitration law in Australia in 1904 and in Nigeria in 1968 cannot be attributed solely to the existence of industrial turmoil. This industrial turmoil was symptomatic of rigid state control of labour and the absence of an institutionalised collective bargaining system in both countries.

Preparing for privatization: corporate strategy and industrial relations in New Zealand's state-owned enterprises

Article Abstract:

The New Zealand government's privatisation strategy has led to major organisational restructuring amongst state-owned enterprises, with important implications for industrial relations. The government gave managers of state-owned enterprises considerable freedom to introduce measures to make such enterprises profitable. Since maximising profits was the main aim of both the state and public enterprise management, the control of labour could become the main focus of industrial relations policy.
