Description
Industrial and labour law is an important component of studies in the legal regulation of business. This subject is designed to introduce undergraduate non-law students to Australian industrial and labour law by examining relevant law, policy and theory. In light of the now extensive coverage of the federal labour law system, this subject focuses on that federal system and the underlying common law principles of employer and employee rights and obligations. Students are introduced to the key aspects of industrial and labour laws which govern employers and workers in the workplace. Both practical and theoretical perspectives are offered on the industrial and labour law system as it operates, and is changing, within Australia. The extent to which Australian industrial and labour law meets the aspirations of various labour law policy perspectives is discussed.
