| Summary |
"The Commonwealth of Australia was federated in 1901. This book is a thematic history of an important Australian institution, the federal conciliation and arbitration system, on the occasion of its centenary. The various chapters deal with the system's political history, the work of the tribunal, the legal framework, economic and social effects, the effects on indigenous and women workers, the role of employers associations and unions, and the management of industrial conflict." "It is a story involving strikes, lockouts, imprisonment of union officials, noisy protests in courtrooms and in the streets, momentous High Court judgments, and the rise and fall of governments. The book is heavily illustrated with cartoons and photographs recording some of the most memorable moments."--BOOK JACKET |
