This has forced unions to `rethink' their strategies to maintain a position of relevance in this new environment. In this context, the Organising Model of unionism has emerged as a possible panacea for membership decline and a mechanism for self-transformation and renewal. This case study explores the strategic response of a union to sophisticated human resource management strategies, in the broader context of a major industrial dispute. %I Monash University
