Article Abstract:

Content analysis of Audit Commission (AC) inspection reports and longitudinal case studies were conducted to study the role of the AC in local government collective bargaining in the UK. The AC is acting to promote activities in support of union bargaining agendas but is limiting itself through promoting service externalization. The AC is also not promoting engagement with unions.
