Learning representative initiatives in the UK and New Zealand, a comparative study - Research paper 10
This research paper, written by Dr Bill Lee and Professor Catherine Cassell compares and contrasts ULRs in the UK with learning representatives in New Zealand through the use of case studies. A major difference is that, unlike ULRs, learning representatives in New Zealand have no statutory rights to paid time off to train and carry out their duties. Nevertheless, both roles are recognised in collective employment agreements. New Zealand also focus their work with industrial training organisations on job-related training, while ULRs support their members over a wider range of learning including personal development.
