It contrasts the approach taken by the former Coalition government with that of its successor.  The discussion is focused on the Memorandum of Understanding between the Labor government and the public sector unions.  With the agreement of the unions, the government has reasserted both substantive and procedural control over public sector industrial relations.  This has not, however, prevented widespread industrial action in schools, hospitals and public transport and continuing tensions between the principal public service union and the government. - Reproduced  aLabour relations - New South Wales  aWages - New South Wales  aWages  aAustralian Journal of Public Administration
