Description

No system where interests collide can proceed without a means to break deadlocks or redress major asymmetry of market power.--(Gardner 2008: 40) A focus on asymmetry of market power emerges as a central theme within three of the four plenary papers examining the future shape of Australia's federal industrial relations system. Gardner, Hancock and McCallum all affirm the inherent power imbalance existing in the common law employment contract as a continued justification for regulation in the arena of industrial relations. Yet, imbalance of power is not unique to the employment relationship, (2) a factor which has contributed to many commentators seeking a broader regulatory justification for intervention. (3) This approach is not incompatible with recognition of the existence and effect of power imbalance in the context of employment and the role of regulation in correcting power imbalance. It does, however, seek to establish a broader justificatory basis for the regulation of work, a project which may help the discipline of labour law move beyond the contract of employment as the locus of regulation. The rationale behind the impetus to extend the principles underpinning labour regulation clearly emerges in the acknowledgement made in each of the plenary papers of the declining role of trade unions and strike action within the modern federal industrial relations system. If collectivism is in decline, alternate methods of regulating the relationship of employees and employers should be adopted.
