§ Organizational dynamics of power, control, resistance, identity, diversity, gender, minorities, indigeneity, ethics, emotions or networks.
§ Contemporary issues such as the poverty, recession, financial crisis, new technologies, environmental sustainably, governance, branding, supply chain processes, risk and security as these relate to organizing and organizations.


Alternatively, stream proposals might critically engage with:
§ Traditional or classical management or organizational theory.

30/7/2010

The 1890 Maritime Strike, one of the largest ever in Australia, also involved New Zealand and Fijian workers, and its impact reverberated throughout the Pacific Rim because of the global structure of capital and labour in the maritime industry. British, European and American employers, politicians and academics took an interest in the dispute, part of a strike wave sweeping Europe, North America and Australasia in 1889-94.

Symposium - 90 years of the ILO: The significance for Australia and New Zealand

1/10/2009

5 Comments

 
Organised by the Business and Labour History Group of the New Zealand Work & Labour Market Institute, Auckland University of Technology in association with the Auckland Labour History Group

AUT Conference Centre, Auckland                                       

19-20 November 2009

The International Labour Organisation (ILO) is dedicated to bringing decent work and livelihoods, job-related security and better living standards to the people of all countries. In 2009 the ILO celebrates its 90th Anniversary, against a backdrop of financial crisis and critical levels of unemployment around the world. Looking to the future means understanding the past, and as such the ILO’s 90th anniversary celebrations allow us to reflect on its achievements in promoting rights at work and decent employment, enhancing social protection and strengthening social dialogue and tripartism on work-related issues.
The ILO is the world's oldest and only tripartite international agency, created in 1919 as part of the Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I, to reflect the belief that universal and lasting peace can be accomplished only if based on social justice. The first annual International Labour Conference began on 29 October 1919 in Washington DC. It adopted the first 6 International Labour Conventions. Today the ILO has 188 Conventions and Declarations and 199 Recommendations. In 1998 the 8 Core Conventions were consolidated into 4 International Labour Standards:
  • Freedom of association & right to collective bargaining 
  • Abolition of forced labour
  • Elimination of Worst Forms  of Child Labour     
  • Equality of opportunity and treatment

Keynote Speakers include:
Peter Mackay (Business NZ). Peter Anderson (ACCI), Helen Kelly (President, NZCTU), Margaret Wilson (Professor of Law at Waikato University & former NZ Minister for Labour), and representatives of the ILO, ACTU, Australian Department of Education, Employment & Workplace relations, and NZ Department of Labour.


CALL FOR PAPERS


Papers are called for in the following areas:
What has been the significance of the ILO for Australia and New Zealand?

What does the future hold for interaction of the ILO with Australia & New Zealand?

Abstracts of 300 words should be submitted to nzwalmi@aut.ac.nz by 15 September. These will then be refereed and authors will be informed of acceptance by 1 October. Papers accepted will be presented at the symposium and following refereeing of the full written papers they will be published in a special issue of the NZ Journal of Employment Relations in June 2010.
