Industrial Relations in Canada

By Fiona McQuarrie

Book Overview

Rather than emphasizing the economic or theoretical approach to the discipline, there is a focus on the practical or process oriented side of labour relations as it applies in today's workplace. Relevant, current topics including technological changes, downsizing, union membership and survival issues are covered, providing students with the most up-to-date information on the subject. A host of pedagogical tools including chapter objectives, new terminology definitions, discussion questions, charts and graphs, and cases and simulation exercises are included to help students with no experience in industrial relations. Numerous examples, cases, vignettes, and photos highlight real-world practice. Cases from actual labour relations board decisions from across?Canada are presented so that students can experience real IR situations.
