It is a somewhat bewildering fact that, while citizens and employees generally recognize the importance of studying labour-management relations, many managers do not. Instead, managers often asset that they are too busy with other business problems to think about labour relations. But this is simply foolishness, for a major part of any managers job involves supervision of other people, and the firm s employees as a group are often the largest single cost factor in its operations. The work of this book series is the collaborative effort of many outstanding people in the management field. The motivation for this book varied from individual to individual, but the central motivation that united us all was the excitement of capturing the management state-of-the-art and sharing it with colleagues in the dynamic profession of management. Contents: The Significance of Labour Management Relations, Worker Participation, The Work Situation: Incidence of Strikes, Role of Trade Unions in Society, The Impact of Labour Relations, Industrial Relations and Mobility of Labour, The Future of Labour Management Relations.

First published in 1991, Rethinking Labour-Management Relations explores how the contemporary system of industrial relations developed and outlines proposals for a better alternative. The book examines the positives and negatives of three systems of industrial relations: a freely operating market for labour where workers bargain individually with employers; a strike-based system of collective bargaining; and, a compulsory arbitration system. It discusses how the strike replaced individual bargaining, highlighting the deficiencies in these respective systems and presenting arbitration as the more efficient and effective way of settling disputes. In doing so, the book emphasises the role of the parties involved in finding solutions and considers how government intervention could be kept to a minimum. Exploring a wealth of literature relating to compulsory arbitration systems around the world and formulating a set of criteria for establishing the best possible form of arbitration, Rethinking Labour-Management Relations will appeal to those with an interest in the history of trade union theory, public policy, and labour law.
