Reviews"The book provides a very sound introduction to a complex area, one that draws on valuable contemporary examples and cases. It covers a broad range of topics and devotes considerable space to consideration of current issues -- diversity, pay, working time -- that are often neglected or lack exposure in other texts. Because it is rooted in a solid sociological approach it permits a more critical engagement with the subject area and draws out many of the contemporary debates surrounding work and employment as well as ER." -- Dr. Adrian Murton, London Metropolitan University "Currently the best employment relations textbook available. Written by a leading employment relations academic who has written a book employment relations scholars and students will appreciate." -- Niall Cullinane, Queen's University Belfast "Very good critical coverage of key employment relations issues that incorporates excellent understanding of contemporary areas." -- Paul Leonard, Northumbria University, 'The book provides a very sound introduction to a complex area, one that draws on valuable contemporary examples and cases.
