What are their implications for management, labour, and industrial relations? This book documents the extensive scale of the process of state restructuring and the increasing variation in the arrangements for providing public goods and services. It shows many sectors of the community to be increasingly distrustful of the impact and consequences of these arrangements. And it shows the way in which policy makers find themselves caught between promoting the reforms, predominantly for economic reasons, and responding to the community's suspicion. This book shows that it is those who actually provide public services who feel the changes most acutely. The book grapples with these issues through a seven case studies, three of privatisations by the Australian Federal Government and four of change initiated by State Governments. |
