The authors would like to thank the many students they have taught over the years. Their interest in the topic and numerous questions have made the authors examine again the many and changing facets of employment relations. The authors have also benefited from collaboration and input from colleagues within and outside Auckland University of Technology. A special thank you goes to those friends and colleagues who have been directly involved in specific parts of the book: Danaë Anderson, Paul Chalmers, Shivashni Priya Singh, and Ronny Tedestedt.
