During the early 1980s, equal opportunity officials were appointed within the management hierarchies of most New South Wales (NSW) government organizations. A study investigated women's choices of representation for discrimination grievances during the 1980s. Findings are based on preliminary research only, but they strongly suggest that equity officials within NSW government organizations may constitute a challenge to unions for the loyalties of women workers. They have emerged both as promoters of women's specific concerns and as a source of advice, assistance, and the formal means through which women can remedy grievances of an ostensibly individual nature on a range of employment issues. Also equity officials commonly administer an ad hoc, individualized grievance process which largely excludes trade unions and which competes directly with the collective mechanisms and representation offered by unions. Findings suggest that for women's and men's relative union commitment levels to be adequately assessed, factors other than union-related attitudinal dimensions also require consideration.

The paper will proceed as follows. It tells the Westray story in two parts, first, the decision to set up the mine and, second, the operation of the mine. These events illuminate the salience of the broader political economic context to an understanding of what happened. Further, the story gives the lie to the assumptions which underpin health and safety regulation. Next, the paper details the implications of the political economy and the prevailing ideology for the enforcement of health and safety regulation. The paper then critically examines a component of, or prop for, the consensus theory which postulates that workers and capitalists share, in some roughly comparable way, the risks of production. In part this is done by examining the proposition that the corporate form is a neutral, facilitating device.

A study examines the determinants of union commitment using correlation, regression, and path analysis techniques as commonly employed. Emphasis is given to the potential differences which may stem from the use of alternative statistical techniques. Given increased use in industrial relations of regression methods, and more recently of path analysis methods, it is important to understand the extent and nature of differences that may be methodology-related. For the particular model and data analyzed, differences in inferences from the alternative methods are relatively minor when comparing the regression and path analysis results, but these 2 methods yield results substantially different from those generated by correlational methods. The overall substantive conclusion inferable from the analyses is that the general attitude towards the unions is the major determinant of union commitment levels.

In contrast to those who would argue that human resource management (HRM) is only compatible with weak unions or the absence of unions, or that it exists where union avoidance is not an option, there is a large body of industrial relations opinion that asserts that strong, autonomous unions are not only compatible with these innovations, but even necessary to their successful development. One of these industrial relations specialists, Mansell (1987), has also identified several firms that have implemented what she calls Socio-Technical Systems (STS) in unionized settings in Canada. These are Shell, Eldorado Resources, Inco Metals, Xerox, Dominion Stores, and Willet Foods. These cases, which it has been argued illustrate the compatibility of strong unions and HRM reforms, are examined. Each case illustrates the incompatibility of HRM and strong unions and explains why this is so.
