Reviews / Votes
"A highly readable introduction to IR concepts and UK industrial relations." - Dr. Nathan Lillie, University of Jyvaskyla, Finland Praise for the 3rd edition: "The third edition of Burchill's book continues to provide a lucid, well structured and informed picture of the contemporary British industrial relations scene. It will be of interest and value to students, researchers, practitioners and policy makers with a stake in this field of study." - Ian Kessler, Reader in Employment Relations, Said Business School, University of Oxford, UK "Frank Burchill provides a very readable introduction to labour relations. At a time when it is fashionable to dismiss the collective regulation of employment as out-of-date, he helps explain why millions of British employees still see trade unionism as a necessary means to defend their interests." - Richard Hyman, Professor of Industrial Relations, Department of Management, London School of Economics, UK "There are very few texts on the market that give such a clear introduction to this important discipline..." - James Benedito, Head of Industrial Relations Studies, The Fire Service College, UKMore details
