The Purposes and Techniques of Voice: Prospects for Continuity and Change

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter in a book

Abstract

This chapter considers the purposes of workplace voice and their implication for assessment of techniques used to promote voice. In so doing, we address the significance of identities, institutions, and locations of voice; while assessing what it means for law to ensure that voices are ‘heard’. Cross-cutting theoretical themes that possess a deep comparative resonance are explored. In particular, the role of deliberative theory, human rights discourse, and the impact of the common law upon worker voice are assessed. The chapter concludes with an affirmation of the enduring significance of labour law’s doctrinal autonomy and the interplay between industrial and political voice in the Voices countries.
