Thirty-eight pieces: notes for the people doing this work now, stories from fifty years of doing it, and the history of how Australian industrial relations arrived where it is.
Written for the people who have to do this work, on the questions that come up most.
Conflict, accountability, change and the work of leading through it.
Fifty years from the inside. Microfiche, company towns, a copper refinery, a coal mine in dispute, and an airline being built while it flew.
Australian industrial relations from 1974 to 2024, in seven parts. The centralised system, its dismantling, and what replaced it.
Purpose, focus and how a working life gets chosen rather than fallen into. Further from the day job than the rest of this page.
