In Employment Relations the authors translate years of experience, with the help of interesting vignettes, real life examples and connections with popular culture, into a critical understanding of the topic that brings the field to life.
Conceived by Chris Grey as an antidote to conventional textbooks, each book in the Very Short, Fairly Interesting and Reasonably Cheap series takes a core area of the curriculum and turns it on its head by providing a critical and sophisticated overview of the key issues and debates in an informal, conversational and often humorous way.
An excellent supplementary text for Employment Relations and HRM students or anyone interested in a short, succinct book on the subject of Employment Relations.

Rezensionen
An accessible introduction to the interdisciplinary field of employment relations that also sheds light on broader social and economic dilemmas we face. The authors are provocative - hitting the important tensions and contradictions facing working people today - with rich anecdotes from popular media and culture that bring the underlying academic research to life.
