The Industrial Relations Research Unit, University of Warwick

The Industrial Relations Research Unit was established by the Social Science Research Council at the University of Warwick in 1970. Its objectives were to undertake long-term multi disciplinary industrial relations research; to contribute to improving the quality of industrial relations policy-making; to provide trained research workers; and to improve career opportunities by concentrating resources. The first three Directors of the Unit were: Hugh Clegg, 1970-1974; George Bain, 1974-1980; Professor William Brown, 1980-1985.
