The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Industrial Disputes series may seem remote from the practical problems and issues confronting those involved in industrial action. Infact the data produced by the ABS and then consumed by various sections of the community plays an important role in moulding popular opinion, and in the analysis of the extent, form and causes of disputation. Most significantly it often influences policy makers who seek to make structural adjustments to our system of industrial relations in the hope of more effectively accommodating and containing conflict.
