>in the public sector, increased competitiveness in the private sector,
>austerity confronting social protections regimes for workers, and the
>ongoing challenges workers face in trying to organize a union and
>collectively bargain. The conference theme encourages a wide-ranging
>debate around the resulting tensions in the contemporary workplace. In
>this new landscape facing workplaces, workers, unions, and managers, all
>are expected to do more with less, while nurturing employee creativity,
>loyalty and wellness. At the same time, austerity potentially creates the
>opportunity to implement significant change and envision new forms and
>strategies of public policy and governance of the employment relations!

>needed? What role do unions play in re-writing the rules for tomorrow's
>workplace and society?
