Orchestral manoeuvres: Australia's biggest social contract, the Accord reconsidered

Authors

Abstract

The ALP/ACTU Accord has raised some vigorous debate in the pages of ALR. This debate is rejoined by Vic Slater, who argues for mass involvement in the Accord. Only in this way can the framework of the Accord be extended to cover the needs of women and other disadvantaged sections of the workforce. This article was sponsored by the WA Socialist Coalition as a paper delivered to the Forum on the Accord.
