General Note A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
Summary Note "This thesis has examined how the NSWTF has achieved teacher union effectiveness through deploying strategic approaches over the last 30 years to protect and advance teachers’ industrial and professional conditions of work within a neoliberal context. Based on data sourced from extensive documentary analysis and in-depth interviews, this thesis examined the response strategies of the NSWTF and presented opportunities for learnings for other teacher unions facing similar challenges. The findings of this study make empirical, theoretical and practical contributions to the pre-existing body of knowledge drawn upon for this study. Most significantly, this thesis advances our understanding of the strategic approaches that can be deployed by teacher unions in response to neoliberal education reform. Through conceptualising and advancing a model of strategic approaches to achieve teacher union effectiveness, this thesis has made key contributions to the literature on union strategy, teacher union renewal and union renewal more broadly." - p. 244-245.
