Industrial Relations in the Privatised Coal Industry : Continuity, Change and Contradictions, Hardback Book

Industrial Relations in the Privatised Coal Industry : Continuity, Change and Contradictions Hardback

Part of the Routledge Revivals series

Hardback

Description

This title was first published in 2000: This book describes and accounts for the patterns of industrial relations which have emerged in the UK coal industry since privatization in 1994.

In so doing, it also addresses wider issues relating to industrial relations and ownership.

Labour relations practices currently evident within the industry are compared with those which prevailed during the final years of nationalization, and a series of case studies demonstrates that both continuity and change are visible.

Whilst continuity with the patterns of labour relations established during the final decade of public ownership is shown to have had negative implications for organized labour within the industry however, the changes associated with privatization are demonstrated to have been a more ambivalent force.

This book concludes that privatization has had a significant influence upon industrial relations within the industry, and that organized labour has in general been detrimentally affected by these developments.
