(Dr Sasha Grishin 2002) Union Avoidance and Union Recognition: A Research Seminar 1-3pm Wednesday 21 September
Board Room The Darlington Centre City Rd The University of Sydney Spaces are strictly limited to 35. RSVP (see below) is essential Reconfiguring Union Avoidance: Evidence from the European Union Dr Tony Dundon Tony's research looks at the strategies and tactics employers use to remain union-free, covering small family-run and large multi-national companies. It argues that managerial ideologies remain at the heart of the hostility to union organisation and collective representation. In addition, structural factors and cultural dimensions are found to be important aspects in the managerial union avoidance arsenal, to which union organisations campaigns can look towards in terms of future representation campaigns. Australian Employer Responses to Union Organising Campaigns: Preliminary Results of the 'Campaign Survey' Dr Rae Cooper Rae presents the preliminary results of her recent survey of NSW union officials especially in relation to employer responses to union organising campaigns during 2004/2005.
Union Avoidance in a White-collar Setting: Experiences and Prospects Stephen Jones Stephen will reflect upon the Australian experience of union avoidance, the likely impact of the proposed Federal IR changes and implications for union strategy. RSVP to Dr Rae Cooper on phone 029.351.5241 or email [email protected] by Wednesday 14 September. Spaces are limited to 35 so please RSVP early to be assured of a seat. A More Diverse Media - Can the Club be Busted?

Our speakers will consider what the new reforms may mean, and how to genuinely invigorate an homogenised and concentrated media.
