Description: "When Labor won the 2008 election it was widely accepted that the Work Choices campaign run by the union movement, and the anti-union campaign run by the Howard Government, were big reasons for victory. Many commentators noted that there had never been a campaign like Your Rights at Work: nothing so well-resourced over such a long period. This book examines the details of the campaign."--Provided by publisher.
