Curricular information is subject to change
On completion of the module, students should be able to:
1. Understand the historical, social, legal and economic context of industrial relations (IR) in Ireland.
2. Locate Ireland's IR system in the context of those observed in Europe and the USA.
3. Demonstrate knowledge of the key actors and institutions involved in industrial relations.
4. Have knowledge and understanding of contemporary issues in industrial relations.
In focusing on these broad areas, we deal with a range of more specific topics. These might include, for example: what we mean by concepts such as equity, fairness and rights at work; the balance between "individualism" and "collectivism"; the meaning of power in the employment relationship and how it is manifest; and the implications for employers and employees of the process of globalisation.
