内容説明

This work examines how traditional workplace divides disappeared in recent decades, and the recently accelerating spread of harmonized employment conditions in employing enterprises in Britain from the 1950s to the mid-1990s. It examines changes in industrial relations, technology, manning practices, and in government policy and legislation. It covers both the public and private sectors, changes after privatization and practices in Japanese and American companies setting up subsidiaries in Britain. The writer shows that harmonized conditions have altered dramatically the workplace divide which was so deeply entrenched in the 1950s between manual and white collar workers.
