We would suggest
that you read the short section on ‘Developments in Industrial Relations’ pp.
367-368 as this section provides some insights on the approach adopted by
Schweppes. The author links the approach taken by Schweppes to that taken by
Qantas. There is a short summary of the Qantas matter earlier in the article.
