FORTHCOMING CONGRESSES


15th Ilera World Congress, Philadelphia, USA, 2-5 July 2012

7th Ilera Regional Congress of the Americas, Sao Paulo, Brazil, 22-25
August 2011ABOUT ILERA
The International Industrial Relations Association (IIRA) was established in 1966 in response to a growing need to develop and exchange knowledge in the field of industrial relations, at the international level, and provide the academic and the practitioner with
a forum for discussion and research.

Its founding members were the British Universities Industrial Relations Association, the Industrial Relations Research Association (USA), the International Institute for Labour Studies (Geneva, Switzerland) and the Japan Institute of Labour.

Over the years, the association has broadened the scope of subject matter to issues such as the transnational movement of labour, non-standard work, labour market regulation and trade and labour standards, and discrimination in employment. Many felt that there was a need to change the name to reflect this new world of work, the broader subject matter and the reality of developing country labour markets. In response, in 2010 its name changed to International Labour and Employment Relations Association, Ilera.

MESSAGE FROM ILERA SECRETARY
Dear ILERA Members,
I wish, first of all, and on behalf of all of you, to sincerely thank our previous Secretary, Tayo Fashoyin, for guiding the ILERA over all these years and maintaining our strong network of academia and policymakers. He also saw us through our name change and as such revitalised the Association. Although he is now retired from the ILO and as secretary of ILERA, I am sure that he will remain an active member and scholar and that you will have plenty of occasions to see him again.
On behalf of all ILERA members, I wish you a happy, healthy and long retirement, Tayo.
I was appointed Director of the Industrial and Employment Relations Department (DIALOGUE) as of 1 January 2011. The Director of DIALOGUE also serves as Secretary of ILERA. Before joining the ILO, I occupied several positions in teaching and in public administration which led me to occupy the position os Secretary General of the Ministry of National Education. Following this, I was appointed Minister of Public Service, Labour and Employment in Niger from 1997 to 1999.
Last January I went to Lagos, Nigeria, for the 6th ILERA African
Regional Congress with the general theme Emerging Trends in Employment Relations in Africa: National and International Perspectives. The Congress was attended by over 250 participants comprising individuals from 6 countries, officials of ILERA, the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and other development institutions, scholars and practitioners of industrial relations, trade unionists, government officials, the press and interested members of the public.
In my remarks to the Congress I mentioned the need to focus on expanding our presence in Africa and encourage the formation of other associations in the region and the recruitment of individual members – both academics and practitioners. We also need better participation from Francophone countries. This is my personal commitment as incoming Secretary of the Association, with the support of the ILO field offices in Africa.
