• WORKPLACE BARGAINING, THE LAW AND UNOFFICIAL STRIKES: THE CASE OF SWEDEN (1978) · British Journal of Industrial Relations · doi

  Although the sphere of action of the workplace unions in Swedish industry has been limited by the law, during the post-war period nearly complete unionisation and generally low levels of unemployment have tended to give the workers significant leverage in workplace bargaining. The key role which academic writers on industrial relations often accord the processes of rule-making and the growth and development of institutions of industrial relations for the level of industrial conflicts and unofficial strikes appears to be based on an assump- tion that the conflict of interest between sellers and buyers of labour power are reconcilable and limited to the distribution of the results of production.

• The Use of Injunctions in Industrial Disputes May 1984‐April 1987 (1987) · British Journal of Industrial Relations · doi

  Further research is needed to examine the long-term effects of the Employment Acts 1980 and 1982 and the Trade Union Act 1984 on industrial relations. The study of injunctions in industrial disputes could be extended to other countries or contexts. Research could focus on the strategies used by unions in response to the increased use of injunctions.

  The paper suggests that further research is needed to examine the implications of the increasing extent of legal regulation of the British system of industrial relations. The paper notes that the Social Contract between the trade unions and the Labour Party is likely to lead to significant changes in labour legislation, and that further research is needed to examine these changes.
