About this book

The second edition of The Dynamics of Employee Relations provides a thorough and up-to-date analysis of the changes and underlying continuities occurring in employee relations. It offers a lively and engaging discussion of current debates, drawing extensively on a wide range of case studies. The authors illustrate the critical importance of employee relations in contemporary work organisations and argue that to understand those relations it is important to recognise the tensions inherent in the employment relationship. The result is a well-informed critical and highly readable account.
