摘要:

Widespread pressure within the European Community and the member states to promote employee information and consultation through European works councils continues to be an issue complicating the Maastricht Treaty's ratification and implementation. However, European works councils established voluntarily are already in operation in several transnational companies and funds have been available since 1992‐administered by the Commission on a vote from the European Parliament‐to promote and facilitate the councils pending the adoption of a formal directive. This article comments on this significant but under‐reported develo

摘要:

The growth of European‐scale companies represents a further centralisation of management organisation in large enterprises. But processes of decentralisation are also evident. Implications of these opposing trends for labour relations are unclear. Taking account of differences between national systems, the article considers two paths that management approaches could follo

摘要:

This article presents a measure of ‘them and us' as a basis for evaluating an employee involvement programme in British Rail. The results of a longitudinal study with control groups and various forms of post‐training intervention show no change in organisational commitment but some evidence of a shift towards a more local pattern of identity which excludes union representatives from

摘要:

For the first time the increased use of cut‐price industrial action is identified alongside the declining incidence of strikes in the 1980s. Here data on the relative ‘popularity’ of strikes, overtime bans and go slows, kindly made available by the CBI, is compared to information from other surveys. The main conclusion is that the relative incidence of overtime bans and strikes has reversed in the 1980s compared with the

摘要:

This article looks at industrial relations on the Channel Tunnel construction project. Contrary to many other developments in the industry, industrial relations here followed a pattern of joint regulation, strong trade union organisation, and the restriction of the fragmentation of the labour force into a large number of self‐employed individual sub‐contractors, known in the UK as ‘the

摘要:

Here the authors review changes in employment law in Britain since 1979 within an international perspective and with reference to underlying philosophical debates. They comment on current legislative developments and the extent to which these constitute a continuation of the Thatcherite approach and conclude that the 1993 Act may be even more damaging for trade unions, particularly their finances.
