ABSTRACT: The decline in union membership means that now three out of every four employees miss out on an important opportunity to be heard in their workplaces. Yet the effective representation of employees is the cornerstone of Australia's industrial relations system. Is it any wonder that citizens are complaining of increased stress, unpaid overtime, family unfriendly hours and injuries when vital workplace decisions are being made with little or no employee consultation? Job satisfaction seems to have been forgotten in the race for ever-increasing profits. How can we create new partnerships between employers and employees? Partnerships at Work advocates concrete changes to stem the decline in employees participation and to create democratic workplace environments that are good for workers and business.
