    Abstract

    Using recent research data from the Price Waterhouse Cranfield Study this paper considers current developments in industrial relations at establishment level in the Republic of Ireland. Firstly, the nature and context of industrial relations is briefly sketched. Secondly, we examine the factors related to varying levels of unionisation, including non-union status. Thirdly, the relationships between unionisation and the use of HRM practices are evaluated and finally, we focus more closely on variations in employment practices between union and non-union firms and public and private sector firms.
