Lecture:	1 x 3 Hours Weekly
Syllabus:	This unit focuses on critically evaluating the relationship between employment relations and broader social policy issues and debates at the personal, national and societal level. This unit discusses the causes and consequences of recent changes in labour market and employment structures. In examining the history, structures and functions of the local and national industrial relations systems, students are provided with the tools for identifying the economic and social factors underpinning labour market outcomes such as wage levels and relativities. Providing a hands-on experiential program in advocacy, agreement making and dismissal, students are given the opportunity to develop IR strategies and processes which are consistent with an organisation's goals and culture. This unit also draws on students' own knowledge and industry experience.
