Industrial relations codes of practice: the 1999 Age Discrimination Code in context

Industrial relations codes of practice: the 1999 Age Discrimination Code in context Considers a neglected aspect of UK industrial relations. The effectiveness of earlier codes of practice is assessed according to various criteria: a thorough creative process; a high degree of consensus; and supporting institutions. These criteria are then used to gauge the potential impact of the 1999 Code on Age Diversity. The code's non-statutory basis is considered to have drawbacks which outweigh the merits. In consequence, it is contended that the code's impact is likely to be small. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Employee Relations: An International Journal Emerald Publishing

Abstract

Considers a neglected aspect of UK industrial relations. The effectiveness of earlier codes of practice is assessed according to various criteria: a thorough creative process; a high degree of consensus; and supporting institutions. These criteria are then used to gauge the potential impact of the 1999 Code on Age Diversity. The code's non-statutory basis is considered to have drawbacks which outweigh the merits. In consequence, it is contended that the code's impact is likely to be small.
