- Title
Cooperation or resistance? Representing workers' health and safety in a hazardous industry.
- Authors
Walters, David; Quinlan, Michael; Johnstone, Richard; Wadsworth, Emma
- Abstract
This study considers the actions of worker health and safety representatives in coalmines in Queensland, where there is little evidence of the facilitating role of management previous studies have associated with the successful operation of worker representation in occupational health and safety. It examines how worker representatives deliver their pluralist representational role in a context characterised by essentially unitary thinking amongst their employers and the effectiveness of the strategies they use.
