Greg Bamber — 24 January 2024

I am impressed by the distinguished group of Industrial Relations (IR) academics that he helped to recruit and to mentor at Victoria University, and by his long service to the IR Society of Victoria in most of its key roles. He much deserved its president Julian Teicher awarding Life Membership to him in late 2023. It is a shame that he did not live longer to enjoy the honour. He also was active in the Australian Labour and Employment Relations Association, and the International Labor and Employment Relations Association. He was a decent man and a great contributor to the IR community and to IR education. Hell be greatly missed. Am thinking of his family and other friends.Prominent UK academic John Purcell says "He was a good scholar and I learnt a lot from him which I have used throughout my career....(I) loved him for his warmth and good humour. I remember him fondly."Dr Elsa Underhill is kindly writing an obituary for the IR Society of Victoria.
