The fourth edition of Industrial Relations in Canada examines the three groups at the heart of this human resources management field—labour (employees and their associations), management (employers and their associations), and government and associated agencies—and the current challenges facing all three. A new author joins this fourth edition, bringing new perspectives and further balancing the text’s coverage of both union and management perspectives, as all authors have been practitioners in the field. Part of the Nelson Education Series in Human Resources Management and built on a solid academic foundation, this textbook provides a comprehensive overview of industrial relations that will have students excited about this changing field.
