The Discipline of Work & Organisational Studies and the Business and Labour History Group present :
Symposium on Non-Union Forms of Employee Representation in the Asia Pacific Rim
Women's College, The University of Sydney, 7th December 2007
This symposium will focus on non-union forms of employee representation in the Asia-Pacific Rim. There is a resurgence of interest in these approaches with the decline of trade unionism in countries such as Australia and the US. Papers are historical and/or contemporary in focus and cover schemes such as employee representation plans, occupational health and safety committees and works councils. Papers also deal with community organising and non-union collective bargaining as alternative forms of worker voice. The papers come from Australia, Canada, Japan, South Korea and the United States.

Further details are available on the Symposium on Non-Union Forms of Employee Representation in the Asia Pacific Rim Programme page.
