Abstract

In this chapter answers are given to the questions posed in the introduction to this book and changes which have taken place in the 1980s and their implications for the 1990s are assessed. The first section surveys the changes in the environment of industrial relations — political, economic and social. Next the changes in the objectives, policies and structure of the two parties — unions and employers — are considered. Then the changes in institutions and procedures, in private and public sector pay, in productivity, and changes in the law, including such issues as strikes, recognition, the closed shop and the check-off are assessed. Finally, the future agenda for collective bargaining and the effects of greater EC integration and the Social Charter are looked at.
