Unions in CSIRO: Part of the Equation - A History of the CSIRO Officers' Association of the CSIRO Technical Association
by Sally Wilde (9781864470659)

This history of a union that has had an impact on Australian life far greater than its low profile, reflects strongly the commitment of members to CSIRO. Although this is a history of the union, it demonstrates profound links with CSIRO. CSIRO is a highly successful organisation and the results of its research and adaptation of technology have contributed enormously to Australia's economic and social well being. Several notable histories have been written about CSIRO and the men who led the Organisation. Little has been said about the people who worked in CSIRO and CSIR or the unions that represented them. This book is intended as a narrative of what has happened since the foundation of the union in CSIR in the 1940s. The observations are drawn from discussion with past and present members and from union source documents.
