Abstract

Profound changes have occurred in the industrial relations system in Australia since the mid‐1980s as the system of centralized regulation has been replaced by collective bargaining at the level of the enterprise. This has corresponded with the considerable expansion of women’s employment, mainly in part‐time and temporary jobs. At the same time, recognition of the disadvantaged position of women in the work‐force has resulted in the enactment of laws to promote equal employment opportunity. This article examines the ability of these laws to achieve equal employment opportunity policies alongside bargaining decentralization and a growing non‐standard women’s work‐force.
