Respect: A book on collective negotiations

Tom Hayes and Rick Warters have produced a free 138-page management perspective handbook on workplace collective bargaining negotiations. It offers their common approach to “best practice labour relations” which we think works not just on both sides of the Atlantic, but globally

The Key Points Tom Hayes and Rick Warters have released a free 138-page handbook on workplace collective bargaining negotiations from a management perspective. The book examines how to organise, prepare, and conduct collective negotiations in the workplace, representing their "giveback" to the labour relations community. The authors present their common approach to best practice labour relations designed to work globally across different jurisdictions.

Why This Matters: The handbook provides practical guidance for management teams navigating collective bargaining processes in an increasingly complex industrial relations environment. Access to experienced practitioners' insights offers valuable perspective for organisations dealing with union negotiations across multiple jurisdictions. The free availability of specialist expertise helps smaller organisations that may lack extensive labour relations resources.
