1011EHR Employment Relations Semester 1, 2017 Individual Essay There are a number of different parts to this question. Argument Theoretical Framework Evidence Context What point is your essay making? What is your position? What are the theories of employee voice, unitarism and pluralism? How does each theory help us to understand the issues? Provide definitions for all technical terms used in the essay. What evidence have you provided to support your argument? You should give several examples, and references to support your claims. Don’t use examples from just one case or industry – this will not provide enough evidence to support your argument. You must use at least 5 academic sources including the required article. The textbook is not an academic source. Which examples are you using? Are they from a particular industry sector/country? Remember, this is NOT a case study so you need several examples.
