Employment Relations

Employment Relations covers power relations, policies, practices and processes involved in the control and administration of work and employment from the viewpoints of all those involved - at macro and micro levels. This includes everything from the effects of globalisation, government policies geography and gender, right down to individual workplace rules and relationships.
