Peak council organising at work: ACTU strategy 1994–2000

Abstract

While our knowledge of the dimensions of the crisis facing Australian trade unions has grown substantially during the past decade, we still know surprisingly little about the union response to this situation. This is despite the significant developments in union organising strategy since the mid-1990s. This article attempts to begin to fill this void by presenting an analysis of the role of the ACTU as an organising agent during the period 1994–2000. The article sets out the ACTU's organising initiatives, analyses changes in the organisation's approach and, building upon research on union change, analyses the influences over the national peak council's organising strategy during this time.
