Workers of the world: International labour movement responses to globalization

劳资关系是2007年联邦选举中最重要的问题。工党政府的回归表明，大多数澳大利亚人希望保留工人集体讨价还价的权利，以获得更好的工资和工作条件。该项目通过分析在国际上推动反工人政策的全球力量和世界范围内劳工运动的反应，直接谈到了这种关切。它还将把澳大利亚的学术和主题纳入一项面向国际受众的重要比较研究中，目前全球政治钟摆正朝着直面企业过度行为和提高员工生活和工作水平的方向摇摆。

Industrial relations was the most significant issue in the 2007 federal election. The return of the Labor Government suggests the majority of Australians wished to preserve workers' rights to bargain collectively for better wages and working conditions. This project speaks directly to such concerns by analysing the global forces that have prompted anti-worker policies internationally and the worldwide responses on the part of labour movements. It will also incorporate Australian scholarship and subject-matter into a major comparative study for an international audience, at a time when the global political pendulum has swung in the direction of confronting corporate excesses and improving employees' living and working standards.
