Managers and Shop Stewards: Shop Floor Revolution?

Managers and Shop Stewards: Shop Floor Revolution?

We have no evidence that effective government intervention would produce a better workplace bargaining situation than that we now have... but there is no doubt that governments will go on trying, and for two principal reasons. In the first place, the credibility of government is involved. Having dammed our traditional system as ineffective and inefficient, politicians can scarcely, at this stage of the game, turn their hands from the plough and have no positive views about how workshop relations ought to be conducted. Secondly, our entry into the common market makes it quite certain that the subject will not be allowed to drop. This collection of writings by Arhtur Marsh and his associates develops the theme of his originals managers and shop stewards and concludes with his assessment of our industrial relation systems past, present and future.
