Sommario/riassunto

This revised evaluation of the New Zealand Employment Relations Act 2000 assesses the developing trends and major changes in the employment relations situation in New Zealand since the act was passed. Perspectives from employers, union members, academics, and government workers address how the new law is working and what amendments are required for better efficacy. Discussions of ?good faith bargaining," changes to union structures, and new industrial issues



reveal the effects and the ongoing implications of the act.
