Conclusions issues and questions
Traditional approaches to HampS representation that involve trade unions are effective
But1048714 The presence of these and other preconditions foreffectiveness is diminishing
They do not reach the majority of workplaces nor deal effectively with small workplaces multiemployer worksites precarious workers etc
