AI Summary
This assessment report delves into the realm of Industrial Relations (IR) theories, specifically focusing on their application to the 2019 Minimum Wage case in Australia. The report begins by establishing the core concepts of IR, including its multidisciplinary nature and its focus on employment relationships, collective bargaining, and the interplay between management, unions, and employees. It then outlines the objectives of IR, such as protecting worker interests, resolving conflicts, and fostering a healthy work environment. The report highlights three key theoretical frameworks: Unitarist, Pluralist, and Radical perspectives, which are used to analyze workplace dynamics and the positions taken by various stakeholders. The core of the assessment involves analyzing submissions from an employer peak body and a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) concerning the 2019 Minimum Wage case. The report examines the organizations' stances on minimum wage, how these align with the IR theories studied, and the similarities and differences in their theoretical positions. The analysis considers the minimum wage in Australia, its legal framework, and the impact of Fair Work Commission decisions. The report concludes by synthesizing the theoretical frameworks to critically analyze the issues in practicing industrial relations in Australia and their influence on minimum wage.
