Industrial Relations in the Future: Trends and Possibilities in Britain Over the Next Decade

Industrial Relations in the Future: Trends and Possibilities in Britain Over the Next Decade

Drawing on a wealth of research data, this book highlights probable developments in Britain’s system of industrial relations into in the 1990s. It also provides a basis for further and detailed analysis and debate of issues central to the nation’s future.

Written by distinguished scholars int their respective fields, the three main sections give reviews from three contrasting traditions – mainstream industrial relations, industrial sociology and management, and labour economics. These accounts are highly complementary in the ways in the strategy and union response, and the behavior of governments are all set against a broad backcloth of economic, political and social changes. The authors see the ultimate outcome as depending greatly on the policies and types of action of organized labour, managements and governments, and possibly of wider social movements as well.
