Recent Developments

A critique of the ‘Regulation School's' account of the development of ‘post-Fordist’ patterns of industrial relations is presented. An alternative account of the ‘disorganization’ of capitalist social relations is presented with particular emphasis on the role of agents of disorganization of labour relations, It is shown through a comparative analysis of recent developments in industrial relations in Sweden, West Germany, France, Great Britain, and the United States of America that the particular patterns of disorganization will vary depending on whether capital, labour, or the state has most influence over the process of restructuring.

The Media

While polls have frequently been conducted on the attitude of the community towards trade unions, there have rarely been any detailed discussions of the results gathered. In addition, and more importantly, there have been few attempts to examine the range of factors which may have influenced the opinions and attitudes expressed. This paper discusses two potential sources of influence on the formation of attitudes towards unions; it examines a range of polls conducted in Great Britain, the United States of America and Australia on attitudes towards unions; and reports on a relevant small scale survey carried out in Melbourne in 1977. The aim of the paper is to identify an area where very little research has been done, and where it is clearly needed. It inquires into the potential influence of socio-economic background and the media on the formation of attitudes towards trade unions. The role of the media, as the primary dispenser of news and information about trade union affairs and activities, is discussed in some detail.

Statutory Body

It is well known that the United States of America has had a mechanism designed to secure the compulsory recognition of trade unions by law since the mid-thirties. Such procedure is part of the bedrock of American labour law. In Great Britain, however, no attempt at compulsion was made until 1971, when the Industrial Relations Act was passed. This Act was repealed three years later, although the operation of the recognition provisions hardly contributed to the factors leading to repeal. Another attempt at compulsion was made by the 1975 Employment Protection Act. However, the relevant sections have now been repealed by the 1980 Employment Act. Furthermore this repeal had at least some support both from the Labour opposition and from the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service, the statutory body charged with operating the procedure.
