Description
This book provides an analysis of some of the vexed questions in industrial relations. The case studies from the post war engineering industry in Britain touch on the issues of shop floor job controls, relations between shop stewards and union members and the effect of workplace practices on productivity. The significance of the subject, the period and the industry selected will need little justification for students of British industrial relations.
