Never has a form of legislation created such contentious and
wide-reaching emotional debate in Australia. It has divided the
community and has resulted in extensive media activity. To the
forefront are Australian academics who have often been the resource
of expert comment and their reports have been prolific. In this
book, academics have taken to opportunity to write their own
perception of the impact of Work Choices in the workplace.
