Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Product DescriptionThis book consists of a comparative analysis of policymaking in Australian and British telecommunications and printing trade unions. It tests the validity of different theoretical models of union policymaking and behaviour, whilst also assessing the strength of the books hypothesis, that informal micropolitical influences inside unions such as personal friendships, enmities and loyalties affect union policymaking to a greater extent than has been previously acknowledged in the literature.Two central questions lie at the heart of this book: How, and why, do unions adopt specific policies? What factors explain the different behaviour of similar unions, when faced with comparable policy choices?As a former senior union officer the author realised that trade unions are often wary of publically disclosing those factors which informed their policy choices. For this reason an interviewrich methodology was adopted, which involved a seventeenyear longitudinal study, in which over 220 officers and staff of all the relevant unions, were interviewed in depth. The result is a book which throws new light on the rich and complex process of union policymaking.About the AuthorEd Blissett (PhD) is Senior Lecturer in Employment Relations at the University of Hertfordshire. Prior to taking up this post Ed was, for over twenty years, a lay activist and then a senior Regional and National officer for three of Britains largest trade unions. His roles included four years as Regional Secretary of the GMB London Region. These positions saw him play a central part in local and national union policymaking and granted him extensive firsthand knowledge of those factors which shape union policy formation. His background as a senior union officer also assisted him in gaining unprecedented access to the Australian and British printing and telecommunication unions, which allows this book to give a unique insight into the richly complex process of union policymaking.
