Abstract

This paper presents the results of an exploratory study of wage outcomes in the West Australian public sector. The research aimed to determine the effect of gender segregation on pay bargaining outcomes in a deregulated industrial relations regime. In the first part of paper, public sector employment relations are discussed and analysed. The second part of the paper provides a synopsis of the changes in the legislative and industrial relations environment in Western Australia. The final part of the paper examines the effect of gender segregation on bargaining outcomes in the Western Australian public sector.
